->''"Can someone tell me why 'I think Annie and Mort would make a nice couple' isn't as good as 'Anmorttimomerny'?"''-->-- '''Tom Siddell''', author of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''

When {{Shipping}} a pair of characters, fans often combine the characters' names into a {{portmanteau}} word. They then use this word to refer to the couple as a unit. CamelCase is optional.

Although common in {{Anime}} fandoms, where the syllable-based nature of the Japanese language means names are modular and can be snapped together with ease, there are still numerous examples of RealLife celebrity couples where this happens.

For less obvious variations, see IdiosyncraticShipNaming. Portmanteau Couple Names may also come in handy if the couple performs a FusionDance and ''literally'' becomes a single being.

[[folder:Advertising]]* OlderThanTheyThink -- this [[Advertising/BurmaShave Burma-Shave rhyme]] from the sixties teeters on the edge of this trope:-->''Ben met Anna\\Made a hit\\Neglected beard\\Ben-Anna split\\Burma-Shave''* Virgin Mobile did a series of ads where they create a fake celebrity couple with people named Spencer and Sarah and call them Sparah.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]* [=ShizNat=] ([[SchoolgirlLesbians Shizuru]] / Natsuki) pops up a ''lot'' in ''Manga/MaiOtome''/''Manga/MaiHiME'' fandom, as it's far and away the most popular pairing. "Harukino" (Haruka/Yukino) and "Maikoto" (Mai/Mikoto) also show up every now and then.** One term coined by members of the Mai Universe forum is "Haruzuke" for Haruka/Shizuru. The "-zuke" is short for ''bubuzuke'', an insulting nickname given by Haruka to Shizuru early in the series.* Another everything-under-the-sun example: the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' fandom. [[OfficialCouple Canon examples]] include Sorato (Sora/Yamato), Kenyako (Ken/Miyako(Yolei)), and Jurato (Jeri/Takato). Non-canon examples would take up three pages of tiny text, and that's before you start on the Digimon themselves...** This is only for the ''English'' fandom. The Japanese fandom uses that language's convention (see below about the ''Naruto'' fandom), which often "bleeds" into English (i.e. Daiken).** The English fandom has ''rules,'' too. Even if you otherwise use English names, you always use the Japanese names while doing it American style, and switching around who goes first just doesn't fly. For example, Sora and Matt are always Sorato, never Soratt or Mora as you'd see in some other fandom: nobody would know who you were talking about if you used those names, even if you used American terminology ''all'' the way outside naming the pairing. However, to demand that it be done full-on Japanese-style (which would likely make it Yamasora; male name goes first, first part of names is used, and "Sorato" ''can't actually be written'' with the Japanese characters that make up their names.) is seen as being a bit too far into SeriousBusiness[=/=]weeaboo territory. There's room to bend with the less common pairings - maybe there aren't enough people who pair your favorite CrossoverShip or InterspeciesRomance ship for there to be a hard-and-fast rule - but * Konami -- Konata/Kagami from ''Manga/LuckyStar''. You can't censor their love. And yes, plenty of fanfiction have them using the KonamiCode in some fairly "creative" ways with each other; whether it's getting the reference or just letting out Konata's GamerChick side varies by the author.** Minami/Yutaka = [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Orionis Mintaka]]. Also adds to [[GeekyTurnOn gamer cred]] as it's likely more writers would know the name from the [[StellarName theme naming]] in ''BatenKaitos'' than from actual astronomy.** Another growing one is Tsuyuki aka Tsukasa/Miyuki* ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'' gives us the generic -- and therefore quite useful -- "[[GeekyTurnOn otupple]]" (''{{otaku}}'' + couple).** In-universe example: [[Characters/{{Genshiken}} Ogiue]], in the NecktieLeash episode, begins thinking about the details of "Sasa-Mada", in her own words.* ''Anime/PrettyCure'' is quite fond of this, in particular ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', where the fans who like yaoi generally support the pairing of Coco and Nuts, known as... Coconuts (sometimes just Coconut).* Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, a popular fanon relationship in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', is referred to as Royai, pronounced Roy-Eye. The pairing of Edward and Winry is often referred to as [=EdWin=]. Alphonse and Mei Chan are [=AruMei=] or [=AlMei=]. Ed and Envy, though not nearly as popular a pairing as the other examples, are [=Edvy=]. Ling Yao and Lan Fan become [=LingFan=] ([=LinRan=] in Japan). And then there's Elricest.* Although Portmanteau Couple Names don't really happen that much in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fandom (they tend to be things like [=NaruHina=] for the [[spoiler:now canon]] pairing of [[HotBlooded Naruto]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Hinata]] rather than Narunata), the similarity of the character names make it very easy to do this. (Possibly) best [[ComicBook/IronMan crossover]] one? Narutonystark.* ''Manga/OnePiece'' fandom doesn't do this very often, but Cobymeppo (Coby/Helmeppo) is a notable exception, not least for being coined by the author himself. This can lead to confusion, as some people use it in its original meaning -- to refer to the two characters collectively in a platonic sense -- while shippers have adopted it as a pairing name. [=ZoLu=] (Zoro/Luffy) and has also seen [=LuNa=] (Luffy/Nami) and [=ZoSan=] (Zoro/Sanji).** Also Lancock for Luffy/Hancock, Frobin for Franky/Robin, and the ever confusing (for capitalization issues) [=ZoRo=] for Zoro/Robin.** However, for the most part the fandom conveys pairings by simply putting together the first one or two syllables of each character's name — to illustrate, while 'Lancock' is rarely used, [=LuHan=] is common. Once one gets a hang of which syllables represents which character, it's quick and easy to decipher. For example, Lu = Luffy, Ro = Robin, therefore [=LuRo=] = Luffy/Robin. The above mentioned [=ZoLu=], [=LuNa=], [=ZoSan=] and [=ZoRo=] all come from this scheme as well.* [=NanoFei=] -- Nanoha/Fate of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. For those wondering, Fate is transcribed as Feito in Japanese (also spelled [=NanoFate=]).** For the other side of the [[ShipToShipCombat shipping war]], [=YuuNoha=] (Yuuno/Nanoha). There is also [=YuunoFei=]/[=YuunoFate=] for Yuuno and Fate.** Also, [=ViviEin=] for Vivio/Einhart. Subaru/Teana is trickier: [=SuAna=] or [=SubaTea=].** Zarf, for the canine familiar duo (Arf and Zafira).* Kalulu -- Kallen/Lulu from ''Anime/CodeGeass''. Too bad it ain't as simple for C.C./Lulu... [=LuC=] (pronounced either Lucy or [[{{Suikoden}} Luc]]), perhaps? [=CluClu=] has also been used, mostly in fanfiction.** And for the yaoi fans, there's Suzalulu aka Suzaku/Lelouch.** Suzaku/Euphemia is [=SuzaEuphie=].** Some people refer to Lelouch/Shirely as 'Shirlulu'.* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': There's quite a lot like [=IchiRuki=], [=IchiHime=], [=HitsuHina=], [=HitsuMatsu=], [=UraYoru=] or [=KenUno=].** [=UlquiHime=], for those who love a good case of StockholmSyndrome.** Not to mention Ishigo and Ichida (and another 'easy' round of "guess the pairing"). It usually goes by the code name [=IchiIshi=], though.** Renji/Rukia has been sometimes referred to as Renkia, but moreso [=RenRuki=].* [=TezuFuji=], [=AtoTez=], [=RyoSaku=], [=ToriShishi=], [=MomoRyo=], [=SanaYuki=]... Damn you, ''ThePrinceOfTennis'' fandom. So many of these, and we haven't even gotten to all the freaking "[[IdiosyncraticShipNaming (insert cutesy adjective) Pair]]" ones.* From ''ShugoChara'' there is Amuto for Amu/Ikuto, Tadamu for Tadase/Amu, Kukamu for Kukai/Amu, Ikutau for Ikuto/Utau, Kutau for Kukai/Utau, Rimau for Rima/Utau, Rimase for Tadase/Rima, and even Tadamuto when referring to the love triangle of Tadase/Amu/Ikuto.** Yukaidou, Nikanjou, or even Yuukari for Nikaidou Yuu/[[spoiler:Sanjou Yukari]].* ''Anime/GundamSeed'' and ''Anime/GundamSeedDestiny'' have several examples. Asukira (Athrun/Kira), Asucaga (Athrun/Cagalli), and Asumey (Athrun/Meyrin) are probably the most well known.* ''FruitsBasket'' fandom brings us Yukiru (Yuki/Tohru), Kyoru (Kyou/Tohru) and [=AkiGure=] or [=GureAki=] (Akito/Shigure), amongst others.* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'': LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, loads and loads of pairings, and hence loads and loads of this. The most well known being [=ShinRan=] (Shinichi/Ran) and [=AiCon=] (Ai/Conan), but {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s are usually applied to much more obscure pairings as well.** Averted with Satou/Takagi, which, despite being the most important pairing not involving the main character, has no generally recognized abbreviation.** The two of the most popular DCMK yaoi pairings are [=KaiShin=] (Kaito/Shinichi) and [=HakuKai=] (Hakuba/Kaito).** Conan/Ai is also seldom referred to as Coai.* ''SamuraiChamploo'' has given us Fuugen (Fuu/Mugen), Fuujin or Jinfuu (as no one can decide which single-syllable name should be in front and no one has suggested Fuun), and Jino (Jin/Shino), among other less common couples such as Fuusuke (Fuu/Shinsuke).* ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' has one, with the RedString couple: Sorashi. Sorata/Arashi.** [[TokyoBabylon Seishirou and Subaru]] are often referred to as [=SeiSub=].* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' gives us [=SakaKaorin=] (Sakaki/Kaorin), [=Sakura=] (Sakaki/Kagura), [=NYukari=] (Nyamo/Yukari), [=ToYomi=] (Tomo/Yomi), and the slightly less common [=ChiSaka=] ([[CrackPairing Chiyo-chan/Osaka]]).* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' has "Joker", which at first seems to be IdiosyncraticShipNaming for [[LoveFreak America]] / [[{{Tsundere}} England]], but is really a pun on their human last names '''Jo'''nes/'''Kir'''kland (makes more sense if you try to pronounce it like the Japanese), although the majority of English-speaking America/England fans simply use US/UK. More common and obvious examples are: [=GerIta=] (Germany/Italy), [=SuFin=] (Sweden/Finland), [=AusHun=] (Austria/Hungary), Spamano (Spain/Romano), [=PoLiet=] or [=LietPol=] (Poland/Lithuania - "Liet" is Poland's nickname for Lithuania), Franada (France/Canada), [=PruCan=] (Prussia/Canada), [=FrUK=] (France/England - and yes, it arose mainly from the potential for loads of 'what the [=FrUK=]'-ery), [=RusAme=] (Russia/America), [=DenNor=] (Denmark/Norway), Ameripan (America/Japan), [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and that's just scratching the surface]].** Some fans pronounce US/UK (or ''USUK'') as "You suck." Sort of [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming fits their]] [[BelligerentSexualTension relationship]], doesn't it?*** This also works well with the [=FrUK=] name when it comes to fan wars. (You know the deal... "U SUK!" "Well [=FrUK=] you!")*** Well there's always the solution of a threesome, that way people can make the pun 'What's causing this [=FrUKUS=]?'** Some less common pairings have cool/funny-sounding portmanteau names: Korea/Hong Kong shippers have the catchy term of [=KoHo=], Denmark/Sweden shippers affectionately dub their pairing [=DeSu=], and Turkey/Japan shippers (yes, they exist) have the obvious choice of Turpan but one of them on Website/DeviantArt has come up with the alternative name of Jerkey.** There are also some portmanteaus based on the Japanese names for the countries/characters: Giripan (Greece/Japan - the all-Japanese portmanteau would actually be "Girihon", but "Giripan" was the one that caught on with the English fandom), [=RoChu=] (Russia/China), [=NiChu=] (Japan/China), Niwan (Japan/Taiwan).*** There's also [=AsaKiku=] (England/Japan) Based off the Japanese pronunciation of England's human name 'Arthur' and Japan's name 'Kiku'.** One case worth mentioning is Belarus/Russia. If you take the common view that Belarus tops Russia, the most obvious portmanteau of their names would be... [=BelaRus=]. Brings a whole new meaning to Belarus wanting her brother to become one with her, doesn't it? Then again, her name literally means "White Russia", so...** And then there are the {{Crack Pairing}}s that have arisen out of the [[HetaliaBloodbath2010 holiday]] [[Manga/{{Hetaween 2011}} events]]: [=TurIce=] (Turkey/Iceland), Denarus (Denmark/Belarus), Romaria (Romania/Bulgaria).*** And just the ones with next to no backing at all: [=EngIta/ItaEng=] (England/Italy), [=RomaChu=] (Romano/China) and [=GerHun=] (Germany/Hungary) for starters.* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' has the couples [=MiTama=] (Miaka/Tamahome), [=MiHoto=] (Miaka/Hotohori), [=MiTas=] (Miaka/Tasuki), among others.** [[spoiler:[=HotoHouki=] (Hotohori/Houki)]]. Just had to throw that in because it sounds pretty cool.** [=TasChi=] (Tasuki/Chichiri) is also popular, especially since [[spoiler:they are the only ones left in the book at the end]].* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has [=KonoSetsu=] ([[TheMedic Konoka]] / [[{{Samurai}} Setsuna]]) for the resident LesYay couple.** "[=KonoSetsu=]" is even used one of the [[AudioAdaptation official drama cds]], when Konoka and Setsuna [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-rNKfXCJ8U try to do a radio show]].** The scanlators at One Manga use [=NegiNodo=] ([[KidHero Negi]] / [[ShrinkingViolet Nodoka]]) on [[http://www.onemanga.com/Mahou_Sensei_Negima!/228/16/ this page]].* ''Manga/GetBackers''' main HoYay pairing is known as Bangin (Ban/Ginji) in Japanese fandom and amusingly enough, it is even used in some official materials. In the GBA game ''Jagan Fuuin'' for example, bangin is a gameplay item that increases said duo's compatibility.* Naturally, one of the oddest examples is from a CLAMP series. The pairing ''Dou''meki/Wata''nu''ki from ''Manga/XxxHOLiC'' is referred to as "donuts". This was coined by a BigNameFan as a ''parody'' of silly portmanteau ship names, but her readers picked it up and started using it (mostly) unironically. * ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' has OfficialCouple [=SyaoSaku=] (Syaoran/Sakura) and [[YaoiFangirl (yaoi)]] fans' beloved [=KuroFai=] (Kurogane/Fai).* ''LightNovel/KyouKaraMaou'' has the BoysLove example of Yuuram, after the [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent main character]] ('''Yuu'''ri) and his [[{{Tsundere}} un]][[HotBlooded predictable]], [[CrazyJealousGuy enthusiastic]] [[AccidentalMarriage fiancée]] (Wolf'''ram'''). This name actually gets featured in-universe with Greta naming one of her [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter pets]] Yuuram, after the [[HasTwoMommies two daddies]] who adopted her, as well as it being the title of an episode.** The [[ShipToShipCombat main rival]] to this pairing is referred to as [=ConYuu=] ([[BigBrotherMentor Conrad]]/Yuuri). Theres also [=ConWolf=] ([[WarriorPrince Conrad]] / [[RoyalBrat Wolfram]] but [[BrotherSisterIncest let's not]] [[{{Squick}} go there]].* The ''Manga/{{Kobato}}'' fandom has Fujibato (Fujimoto/Kobato).* Averted in ''Manga/AyashiNoCeres''. No matter how you put it, Tooya/Aya will end up with either "Aya" or "Tooya", and any possible nickname for the Yuuhi/Aya ship just sounds too weird.** Well you could write it as Ayato or Toaya.* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'''s title itself is a Portmanteau Couple Name; Taiga and Ryuuji ("Taiga" is tiger, transcribed into Japanese, whereas Ryuuji is a name dealing with dragons) are flipped for the title, so we get "Tora" the actual word for tiger in Japanese, and "Dora" comes from "Doragon", which is the Japanese transcription of Dragon.* ''Anime/{{Beyblade}}'' had a fair few of these back when the SlashFic-ers were at their most active. Tyson and Kai = Tyka, Max and Rei = Marei, etc.* ''LightNovel/SuzumiyaHaruhi'' has [[FanPreferredCouple Yukyon/Kyuki]], Mikyon, [[OfficialCouple Harukyon]], [[HoYay Itsukyon/Kyonzumi]], Itsuru, Yukitsu, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Tsuruguchi]], and [[SatelliteCharacter Kimikida]] for some examples. Kinda easy to make shipping names out of their names.* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has several, the most obvious one being [[BelligerentSexualTension Rakane]].* The ''Manga/KOn'' fandom refers to the Mio and Ritsu pair as Mitsu. [=YuiAzu=] is also used to refer to Yui/Azusa, and it's even canon, as they used that name for a guitar duet they performed.* For the fandom of ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'', most prefer to use the number system to represent the pairings (such as [[HoYay Byakuran/Mukuro]] being 10069, but some do use name combos ([[HoYay YamaGoku, RyoHiba, and SupaTuna]] are some examples - although even those are commonly referred to as 8059, 3318, and 4827 instead).* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' fandom's favorite pairing is [[FoeYay Shizaya]], short for Shizuo/Izaya.* The ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' fandom uses [=TsuSoka=] ([[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Tsuzuki]] / [[TheEmpath Hisoka]]) and [=TaTari=] ([[RightHandHottie Tatsumi]] / [[MadScientist Watari]]), among others.* From ''Manga/NabariNoOu'': Yoiharu for Yoite/Miharu, Raigau for Raikou/Gau, and Koumei for Koichi/Raimei.* From ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', most famously [=KenKao=] for Kenshin and Kaoru.* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' fandom uses [=Allena=] (Allen/Lenalee), [=LaviYuu=] (Lavi/Kanda), Yullen (Allen/Kanda), [=KanLina=] (Kanda/Lenalee) and sometimes Laven (Lavi/Allen).* ''Manga/DragonBall'' has several of these; it helps that Portmanteau names are ''canon'' when charcters merge via FusionDance, so it's an easy jump for the fandom. The most popular names are probably Truten (Trunks/Goten; compare to their Fusion Dance form of Gotenks) and Truhan (Future Trunks/Gohan).** In light of Android 18's original name, Lazulin or Krilzuli may be suggestible.* Manga/SoulEater has [=CroMa=] for Crona/Maka shippers, [=SoMa=] for Soul/Maka shippers, and [=TsuStar=] for Black*Star/Tsubaki shippers.** Also [=KiMa=] for Kid/Maka. Needless to say, Maka is the LauncherOfAThousandShips.* In the Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica fandom, the two big pairings Homura/Madoka and Kyouko/Sayaka are nigh referred to as [=HomuMado=] (or [=MadoHomu=]; they're interchangeable) and [=KyouSaya=] respectively. Other pairings include, but not are limited to, [=MamiMado=] (Mami/Madoka) and [=MamiLotte=] (Mami/Charlotte).* Manga/DeathNote has the threesome of Mello/Near/Matt, which has on occasion been called MNM (pronounced Em-In-Em. Like [[Music/{{Eminem}} the rapper]].)** There's "Might" for [[CrackPairing Mello/Light]]. ** [=MellodraMATTic=] for Mello/Matt** The [=LxLight=] pairing is sometines referred to as "Lawlight." ** Japanese fandom has "Teruzuki" for Mikami/Light. It's a combination of "Teru" and "Tsuki" (the kanji spelling of Light's name). It was also named after a Japanese Battleship in WWII. * An InUniverse example in ''Manga/BGataHKei'': When Miss Aika volunteers Kosuda and Yamada to plan out the activities for the school's Field Day, she asks if she should just call them [[spoiler:Kosada]] instead.* ''Manga/FairyTail'' fans tend to use [=NaLu=] for Natsu/Lucy and Gruvia for Gray/Juvia.* ''Anime/{{Free}}'' fandom has several of them, with [=MakoHaru=] (Makoto/Haruka) and [=RinHaru=] (Rin/Haruka) among the most prominent.** [=RinTori=] (Rin/Nitori) and [=ReiGisa=] (Rei/Nagisa) are also pretty common in the fandom.** As of the second season, there is now also [=SouRin=] (Sousuke/Rin) and [=MomoTori=] (Momotarou/Nitori). * ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has many, including Ereri (Eren/Levi), Eruri (Erwin/Levi), Eremin (Eren/Armin), Eremika (Eren/Mikasa), Jearmin (Jean/Armin), Reibert (Reiner/Bertolt), Yumikuri (Ymir/Krista)... the list goes on. * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has Hidekane (Hide/Kaneki), Shuuneki (Tsukiyama/Kaneki) and Touken (Touka/Kaneki)** Other pairings include Ayahina (Ayato/Hinami), Akiramon (Akira/Amon), Nishikimi (Nishiki/Kimi) and Touriko (Touka/Yoriko)** Re: has Arisasa (Arima/Sasaki)* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and its two main contenders; Kawoshin (Kaworu/Shinji) and Asushin (Asuka/Shinji), as well as Asurei (Asuka/Rei) and Marisuka ([[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari]]/Asuka). [[/folder]]

[[folder:Comics]]* Fan-favorite '80s C-list superheroes ComicBook/BoosterGold and ComicBook/BlueBeetle: Boostle.** And now, Beevil (BlueBeetle/Red Devil).* ''ComicBook/XMen'' fans seem to like this a lot, but unfortunately no matter what you ship in what series/universe, you usually come out rather badly. [=TJott=], Scemma, Jogan, Lemma, Rogan, Robby, Kyro, Ryro, Kurtty, Lancitty, Tonda, Jonda, Xietro, [=AleX23=], Bobbity, Bobmara, Bobbilee (or Jubby), Kurahne, Kurmanda, and a favorite, Wandurt. Apparently the character's names were not chosen to be PortmanteauCoupleName friendly.** "Pionda" (Pietro/Wanda) is not only clunky, the concept comes out badly [[{{Twincest}} no matter *how* you think of it]]. A preferable term would be "Panda", in case you wanted the {{Squick}} to be cute (either way, the couple is more or less canon in UltimateMarvel).** No love for the Logan/Remy pairing, Lomy?*** Some fans refer to the Rogue/Gambit pairing as Romy.**** Rogneto is about the only portmanteau that works for the X-Men that is used.** There seems to be a candy theme when it comes to shipping Storm: [=RoLo=] for Ororo/Logan, [=OreO=] (capitalization variable) for Ororo/Remy.** [[ComicBook/XFactor Ricstar]] seems to be the happy exception to the rule. It even has PeterDavid's blessing, who stated that it sounded much better than [=RicShat=]. It does.** Kuroro, for Nightcrawler/Storm, is another of the exceptions.** There has been...[[ShipToShipCombat difficulty]] on comic message boards between fans of Kiotr (Kitty Pryde/Piotr Rasputin) and Kete (Kitty/Pete Wisdom)*** And now thanks to ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' there's [=StarKat=] for Kitty/[[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Peter Quill]]. Kitty sure loves her "Peters..."** Helix has been a term that has been thrown around to describe Hellion/X-23.*** Another that's come up for X-23 is [=Cyx-23=], for the shiptease between Laura and Teen!Scott. Bonus points for suggestive pronunciation.*** She's got ''another'' one now; Larren for Laura and Teen!Warren. [[spoiler: Which teeters on ArmedWithCanon.]]** Cherik seems to be the most popular name for [[FriendlyEnemy Professor X/Magneto]], although this is mainly seen among fans of the live-action films.* The latest ''SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}'' plotline has Deadpool Skrulls, which some fans have nicknamed Skrullpools. For actual Deadpool shipping, how about Deadcable? Or Deable or Cadpool?** Deadpool seems to be a fan of [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bdQdS-kzyI4/TU8f9-EcWhI/AAAAAAAACks/j3tDL1PlvQw/s1600/Deadpool+%2526+Cable+Pouches.jpg Cablepool]], Though in a slightly different context...* If you happen to like [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man's]] first love Gwen Stacy, you are stuck with "Gweter" or "Pwen" (although there ''are'' the slightly better-sounding alternatives of "Peten" and "Petwen"). "Doomshipping" covers all the bases.** Or, if you're reading Sins Past, Normwen Stacborn.*** If you like Spidey's real first love, you'd get Petty or Beter Parant (Brarker is just too uncomfortable).* Comicbook/{{Empowered}} dreams up quite a few of these when she learns one of her teammates is gay.* One of the more clever names for a borderline-canon ship is Pepperony (Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, ComicBook/IronMan).** A relatively new one: Tony Stark/Sentient Armor has taken the name 'Irony'.* ComicBook/GreenArrow and ComicBook/BlackCanary: Dinahver Quance.* Francophone ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' fans collectively refer to Dupond & Dupont (Thompson and Thomson) as "les Dupondt".** That is how Tintin and Haddock refer to them [[WordOfGod in the comics]].* Ever since Thor and Storm started dating in ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures Avengers'', the term "Thororo" has been created.* Given the GreenLantern and TheFlash tandem, there's Hal Jordan and Barry Allen, also known as Halbarry (No, not that HalleBerry).* ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' has Amerikate (America Chavez and Kate Bishop). * The popular couple of [[Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] and [[Comicbook/{{Batgirl2011}} Barbara Gordon]] is often elegantly referred to as "Dickbabs".** For Dick and [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Starfire]], the name "Robstar" is most commonly used, though some mockingly call it "Dickfire".[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fanfiction]]* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6499181/1/The_Case_of_The_Friendly_Indians this]] ''Series/{{Psych}}'' fic, Shawn says that if he and Lassiter were to have a child through surrogacy, he wants to cross Jules and Gus so that he can have his own Gules, and that he'd name him Julius.* In the ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist[=/=]Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' {{crossover}} "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7769780/1/The_Bank_Called_Your_Reality_Check_Bounced The Bank Called, Your Reality Check Bounced]]," the trope is not only used, but named and even defined for the reader when Tamaki announces the launch of "Operation Elricbell" to get Ed Elric and Winry Rockbell together.* The ''Literature/HungerGames'' fanfic ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'' has "Valesidian" ([[ThuueProtagonist Vale]] [[ShrinkingViolet Whitaker]]/[[PrivilegedRival Obsidian]] [[{{Deuteragonist}} Citrine]]). Not only do the author and some of the reviewers refer to the pairing by this name, but even the story itself does it at least once (while mocking the shippers in the Capitol).* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' fanfic "Asleep in a Blizzard" has "Benlyn" (Benson and Evelyn), which honestly sounds more like a cough medicine.* The fanfic {{MST}} ''Play MST-y for Me'' makes fun of this trope, for instance in [[http://z4.invisionfree.com/Refia/index.php?showtopic=1016 Episode Two,]] featuring a ''{{Series/Smash}}'' story:-->... I waited two years for an amazing Cartwills moment, and it never happened! ... I hope that you enjoy my story. Please leave comments! Jodi\\'''Kay:''' Rest assured, Jodi, we have plenty of comments for you.\\'''Ivy Lynn:''' What does she mean, “Cartwills”? She thinks Karen belongs with Derek?\\'''Phil:''' That’s right. And those cutesy combined names got old years ago. I have to rebuke CBS.com every so often for doing it.* The future fanfic series "''Anime/YuGiOhZexal the Future''" has as protagonist Yuko Tsukumo. Her name comes from her parents' ones: Yuma and Kotori.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]* The Violet/Tony pairing in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' is most commonly known as "Viony". There's also the really screwed up Synlet which is, you guessed it, Syndrome and Violet.* Another Pixar example: WesternAnimation/WallE and EVE are sometimes referred to as "WEVE".* In the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' fandom, some people like to refer to the pairing of Manny and Ellie as "Mellie."* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'': The pairing of the title character with Rattlesnake Jake has been dubbed "Rake". [[Music/TheDecemberists Some have pointed out the unfortunately appropriate song connotations]].* WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda: "[=PoTi=]" or "[=TiPo=]" for Po and Tigress. It's also occasionally been called Pogress.** There's also [[FoeYay Tai Lung/Tigress]], which is... [[PunnyName Taigress]].* Some fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' has Jally for the main couple Jack and Sally (thank God that they don't reverse that and have [[AccidentalInnuendo Sack]]).* ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' has quite a few:** ''Kristanna'' for [[OfficialCouple Kristoff and Anna]]. ** ''Elsanna'' for [[IncestYayShipping Elsa and Anna]].** ''Kristelsa'' for [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Kristoff and Elsa]].** And ''Kristelsanna'' for [[OneTrueThreesome all three]].** ''Hanna'' for Hans and Anna.** ''Helsa'' for [[FoeYay Hans and Elsa]].** Even the side characters get some, with ''Snowship'' for Olaf and Marshmallow, ''Nosenoms'' or ''Solaf'' for Sven and Olaf, and finally, ''Prince of Weselton'' for Hans and the Duke of Weselton.** With the addition of [[ScrewYourself Hansquared]], ''Frozen'' seems to be the first animated Disney movie with fans who ship to such epic proportions.** Let's not forget the ship between ''Film/RiseOfTheGuardians'' Jack Frost and Elsa, ship name, Jelsa.* All the possible pairings in the ''SugarWiki/RiseOfTheBraveTangledDragons'' fandom are usually tagged this way:** Jackunzel for Jack Frost and Rapunzel.** Mericcup for Merida and Hiccup.** Jarida for Jack and Hiccup** Hijack for Hiccup and Jack** Meripunzel for Merida and Rapunzel.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' has Willabeth (Will/Elizabeth), Sparrabeth (Jack/Elizabeth), Barbossabeth(Barbossa/Elizabeth) Sparrington (Norrington/Jack), and Turrow (Jack/Will).** There's a [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2130627/1/Behind_Brown_Eyes fanfic]] out there that refers to Will/Jack as "a Blirate" (blacksmith/pirate). If Jack was shipped with Will ''and'' Elizabeth, would that make him a [[IncrediblyLamePun Birate]]?** There are such things as Davybeth, Beckabeth, Norribeth (which in a way is canon), Dirty Jack [[CargoShip (Jack/his Jar of Dirt)]], Dalypso (Davy Jones/Calypso), Speckett (Jack/Beckett), Turrowton (Jack/Will/James), Meckett (Mercer/Beckett), Sparrangelica (Jack/Angelica), and Gillington (Norrington/Lt. Gillette).* Anidala and Obidala are popular in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' fandom.* "Pavigi" has [[SlashFic already]] [[FoeYay popped up]] for Pavi/Luigi in the ''RepoTheGeneticOpera'' fandom. [[CrapsackWorld Considering]] the ''[[BigScrewedUpFamily canon]]''.** Not to mention "Grilo" (Graverobber/Shilo) and [[ParentalIncest Shathan]] (Shilo/Nathan).* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': Sweenett, Toddett, and Todvet for Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett. Yes, it exists. So does Swucy for Sweeney and Lucy, and Tobett for Toby and Mrs. Lovett.* In the [[Film/TheBourneSeries Bourne]] movie fandom, there's "Nicson" for Jason Bourne and Nicky Parsons.* In ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen'', the reporters Woodward and Bernstein working the story are in one scene called "Woodstein".* "Dastamina" refers to the pairing of Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina in ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime''.* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:** A pairing with a growing fanbase for the Film/{{Thor}} fandom is Loki/Jane, or Lokane.*** Larcy, for Loki/Darcy.** Apparently, the Tony/Pepper pairing in the Film/IronMan films is dubbed "Pepperony".** Film/TheAvengers: Fans have come up with ''three'' nicknames for the Clint Barton (Hawkeye)/Natasha Romanov (Black Widow) pairing: Clintasha, [=BlackEye=], and [=BlackHawk=].*** And apparently, the OneTrueThreesome of Tony Stark (Iron Man)/Steve Rogers (Captain America)/Bruce Banner (The Hulk) is known as the Stark Spangled Banner.*** There's also "Stony" for Tony/Steve, "Frostiron" for Loki/Tony, and "Thorki" for Thor/Loki. The lattermost has the remarkably badass alternative of "Thunderfrost," which might as well be another superhero.*** We also have "Lokasha" and "[=BlackFrost=]" for Loki/Natasha. Also, Black Magic*** Clint/Bruce is known as VideoGame/AngryBirds. Steve/Bruce is known as "American Pi".*** Tony/Steve is also known as Super Husbands, Tony/Bruce as "Science Bros/Boyfriends/Husbands, Tony/Steve/Pepper as "Pepperstony", Bruce/Pepper as "Dr. Pepper" adding Tony to become "Dr. Pepperony", Natasha/Pepper as "Black Pepper", Steve/Loki as "Stoki", "Frostshield" or "Frostcap", and the rather badass "Thundershield" (Thor/Steve) and "Ironhawk" (Tony/Clint)** With the release of Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier, fans have taken a liking to "Stucky" (Steve/Bucky), "Romanogers" (Steve/Natasha) and "Captain Falcon" (Steve/Sam).*** That would make Bruce/Sam either "Falcon Punch" or "Falcon Smash".* ''Film/XMen'':** "Rogan" for Rogue/Logan, by far the most popular pairing of the original trilogy.** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': After its release, there was a deluge--or tsunami, if you prefer--of "Cherik" (Charles/Erik) fanfics, to the point where it would be impossible to read every one of them in a single lifetime. It even managed to supplant "Rogan" as the favourite couple of the film series--just look at the [[http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Logan*s*Rogue%20(X-Men)/works difference]] in the sheer [[http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Erik%20Lehnsherr*s*Charles%20Xavier/works number]] of stories on ''Archive of Our Own'' for proof.** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': There has been a small, but noticeable increase in "Xavierine" ([[https://40.media.tumblr.com/5f5852e75a5e67e02d08d8504a14f300/tumblr_nczi3esrgN1s5jjv1o1_r1_1280.jpg Xavier/Wolverine]]) shippers thanks to Creator/JamesMcAvoy and Creator/HughJackman sharing a lot of screentime together. It's a MentorShip that works both ways because Logan counsels the younger Charles in this movie, but Professor X is Wolverine's mentor in the original trilogy.* ''Film/TheHobbit: An Unexpected Adventure'', via a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming involving a ManHug and the sentence, "I have never been so wrong in all my life" between [[HoYay Bilbo and Thorin]], spawned a veritable army of Thorin/Bilbo fangirls who immediately dubbed the pairing "Thilbo", "Bagginshield", or, most properly, "Thilbo Bagginshield".* ''Film/JackTheGiantSlayer'' has the highly clever name of "Elmonterey Jack" for Jack/Elmont.* ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' has the name "Maleval" for Maleficent/Diaval and "Malora" for Maleficent/Aurora, respectively. * ''TheGoodtheBadandtheUgly'' gives us the twisted FoeYay that is "Blonco" for Blondie/Tuco.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]* Portmanteau names are frequently cobbled together for ''Literature/HarryPotter'' ships, of which there are dozens, if not hundreds. The most famous ''Harry Potter'' Portmanteau ships are Dramione (Draco/Hermione), Romione (Ron/Hermione), Snamione (Snape/Hermione, also known as SSHG) and Snarry (Snape/Harry). Other common Portmanteau names are Harmony (Harry/Hermione - adherents of the ship are known as Harmonians), Drarry (Draco/Harry), Dranny (Draco/Ginny), Snupin (Snape/Lupin), Snack (Snape/Black), and Honks (Harry/Tonks). There's also the term "Herons" for Hermione/Ron shippers, although it's rarely used by said shippers.** "Heron" is usually taken as an insult by Ron/Hermione shippers, as it was coined by Harry/Hermione shippers as such. Usually, the term "Good Shippers" is what Ron/Hermione shipmates call themselves. Conversely, the term "Delusional" was taken as an insult by Harry/Hermione shippers for a short time after its creation, taken from an interview with J.K. Rowling in 2005 by a Ron/Hermione shipper. However, it was turned around and is now taken as a compliment.** Most fans who still ship Harry/Hermione find the term "Harmony" and "Harmonians" too {{Narm}}y, preferring H/Hr or Harmione.*** Part of that is that the original self-professed Harmonians were towards the more extreme end of the spectrum in terms of ship wars, flaming and the like. One definition of Harmonians at the time was "the Provisional Wing of H/Hr Shippers."** The coolest portmanteau name out there is probably Bellamort (Bellatrix/Voldemort), which literally means "beautiful death".** Some humorous-sounding portmanteau names would be Snufflepuff (what you get when you combine Sirius Black (aka Snuffles) and Cedric Diggory (who is a Hufflepuff)), Blamione (Blaise Zabini/Hermione Granger), and Quirrelmort (Quirrel/Voldemort). Quirrelmort as a name makes good sense but is usually (and justifiably) reserved for [[spoiler:the form Voldemort actually takes at the end of the first book and film]].** Then there's Snucius (Snape/Lucius). Actually, trying to get Snape into any portmanteau name comes out badly. The worst is probably Snily (Snape/Lily)... though at least it's not as bad as 'Snevans' and some opt for the somewhat nicer-sounding Lileverus. *** Seville (Snape/Neville)? The ship's dynamics are appalling, but at least the name rolls off the tongue.*** How about Minerverus (Severus Snape/Minerva [=McGonagall=])?** The threesome, Drapery.** Apart from Dramione, Drarry and a few other exceptions, most of the HP fandom use initials to denote ships as some pairings sound too awkward when combined. Examples would be HG, RHR, HHR, DG, RL, HPTR, etc... The usage of this method works better at minimizing discrimination in the epic ShipToShipCombat always present in the fandom.*** And on that note, AS/S is commonly used to refer to Albus Severus/Scorpius*** Lily/Severus sometimes goes by LESS to avoid the above-mentioned awkward portmanteaus.** Harry/Hermione/Luna is sometimes referred to as Lunar Harmony, combining this with IdiosyncraticShipNaming** And of course, we have Drapple: Draco and his film counterpart's iconic [[CargoShip green apple]].* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' gives us:** Bedward (Bella/Edward)** Blackswan (Bella/Jacob)** [[FoeYay Jedward]] (Jacob/Edward, despite the fact that it's [[TheXFactor already taken]])** Blackwater (Jacob/Leah)** Callwater (Embry/Leah)** [[HoYay Bellice]] (Bella/Alice)** Jalice (Jasper/Alice)** Jaspella (Jasper/Bella)** [[HoYay Rosebella]] (Bella/Rosalie)** [[http://kaiwynn.livejournal.com/39249.html?thread=569425 ...and many, many more.]]* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' has quite a lot. Just to name a few:** Percabeth -- Percy and Annabeth** Perachel -- Percy and Rachel** [[FoeYay Puke]] -- Percy and Luke*** This ship is better known as Lukercy or Percuke.** Thuke/Thaluke/Lukalia: Thalia and Luke** Lukabeth -- Annabeth and Luke** Annico -- Annabeth and Nico** [[LesYay Annalia/Thalabeth]] -- Annabeth and Thalia** Salleidon -- Sally and Poseidon** Ruke/Racheluke -- Rachel and Luke** Rico -- Rachel and Nico** Percianca -- Percy and Bianca** Lukianca -- Luke and Bianca** Perlia/Percalia/Thalcy -- Percy and Thalia** Liper -- Leo and Piper** Jasper -- Jason and Piper** Jeyna -- Jason and Reyna** Leyna -- Leo and Reyna** Frazel -- Frank and Hazel** Lazel - Leo and Hazel** Thalico - Thalia and Nico** Percico - Percy and Nico** Jasico - Jason and Nico** [[spoiler: Caleo - Leo and Calypso]]** [[spoiler: Solangelo - Will Solace and Nico di Angelo]]* There's a LJ fanfic group called [[Literature/GoodOmens Crowleyraphale]].* [[EarthsChildren Ayla]] named her daughter Jonayla - a portmanteau of hers and Jondalar's names.* Pretty common amongst the ''Literature/WickedLovely'' fandom:** Nirial (Irial and Niall)** Keenlinn (Keenan and Aislinn)** Devani (Devlin and Ani)** Keenia (Donia and Keenan)** Neth (Niall and Seth)** Anial (Ani and Irial)** Niallia (Donia and Niall)* ''Literature/MaximumRide'': Fax/Mang (Fang and Max), Niggy (Nudge and Iggy), Eggy (Ella and Iggy), and [[HoYay Figgy (Fang and Iggy)]].* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Sandor + Sansa = San-San, which is, admittedly, rather cute.** And very amusing, as Sandor is about as far from cute as one can get, possibly with the exception of Tyrion. And talking about him, the Tyrion/Sansa ship is sometimes called TySan.** Other names include Gendrya (Gendry/Arya), [[CrackShip Robbcella]] (Robb/Myrcella), [[ToyShip Edreen]] ([[HotBlooded Edric Storm]]/[[IllGirl Shireen Baratheon]]), and JoffSan for Joffrey/Sansa, among others. Lannicest is also sometimes used by fans to refer to incestuous relationships between the members of House Lannisters, although by this point the name almost exclusively refers to the canon romantic relationship between [[BrotherSisterIncest Jaime and Cersei]].* Peeta/Katniss of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' is a far too difficult ship to name. [=KatPee sounds=] like "cat pee", [=KatPeet=] like "cat feet", and then the most unfortunate one of all, Peeniss.** Let's not forget '''Ga'''len/Kat'''niss'''...** Eventually they combined "The Girl Who Was On Fire" with the baker's son and got "Toast".** "Everlark" and "Everthorne" have also gained popularity.** Lest we forget other ships: [=PeeGale=], Peeffie, and Hayniss. Basically, putting Peeta's first name in a portmanteau automatically sounds terrible.** There's also "Clato" for Clove/Cato.** Hayffie for Haymitch/Effie is becoming popular.* The Literature/InheritanceCycle fandom has developed a ridiculous number of these, involving almost every possible combination of characters. Some of the more popular ones include:** Murtada - Murtagh/Nasuada** Erya - Eragon/Arya** Eraphira - Eragon/''Saphira.''** Murtrina - Murtagh/Katrina ({{Jossed}} by Book Three, but since when has that stopped shippers?)** Saphikan or Saphruikan - Saphira/Shruikan** Thophira - Thorn/Saphira** Galbazandi - Galbatorix/Islanzadi* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfNarnia'' has Suspian (Susan/Caspian), Pevencest for the [[IncestYayShipping incest couples]] or particular names like Edcy, Ludmund or Edlu (for Edmund/Lucy), Petesu (for Peter/Susan) and Petmund (for Peter/Edmund). There is also Lucian (Lucy/Caspian), Casmund (Caspian/Edmund) and [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Casper]] (Caspian/Peter). * For ''Literature/{{Wicked}}'', the ship names are the same as they are for the musical (Fiyeraba, Gelphie, Flinda, Foq, Gloq, Bessa, etc.), but as there are characters not included in the musical, naturally there are more. Most notably, Thrope for Tibbett/Crope and Elpharic for Elphaba/Avaric.* The Artemis/Holly ship in ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' gets the rather catchy names of "Artolly" and "[=HArtemis=]".* The canonical pairing of Alek/Deryn from ''Literature/{{Leviathan}}'' is amusingly called [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]]. There is also Varlow, for [[MindGameShip Count Volger/Dr Barlow]].* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' gives us quite a few. Most popular is Malec (Magnus/Alec), as well as Clace (Clary/Jace) and Sizzy (Simon/Izzy). [[spoiler: And that's just the canon ones.]]* ''Literature/LesMiserables'' fandom is not far behind in naming their ships such as Valvert (Valjean/[[InspectorJavert Javert]]) and e/R (Enjolras/Grantaire) among others.* ''Literature/VampireAcademy'' and ''Literature/{{Bloodlines}}'' have a few of these, most notably Romitri (Rose/Dimitri), Dragozera (Lissa/Christian), and Sydrian (Sydney/Adrian). Jeddie (Jill/Eddie) has been gaining popularity lately, due to the events of The Fiery Heart and Silver Shadows.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' has Hannigram (Hannibal/Will Graham), Hannibloom (Hannibal/Alana) and [=ChillyWilly=] (Chilton/Will Graham). * In the ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' fandom, [=McDanno=] ([=Steve McGarrett=]/Danno Williams) is the most popular pairing.* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':** The Franchise/{{Buffyverse}} is full of these: Cangel (Cordelia/Angel), Fangel (Faith/Angel), Spred (Spike/Fred), Weslah (Wesley/Lilah), Fresley (Fred/Wesley), Coyle (Cordelia/Doyle), Faithsley (Faith/Wesley), Fangelus (Faith/Angelus), Xanya (Xander/Anya), Wesllyria (Wesley/Illyria), Spaith (Spike/Faith), Spanya (Spike/Anya), Willoz (Willow/Oz) and the list goes on and on and on...** On the fem slash side, there's Wiffy (Buffy/Willow), Fawn (Faith/Dawn), Tuffy (Buffy/Tara)... One fanfic writer has commented that "Wiffy" sounds more like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Pepe Le Pew]]/[[Literature/{{Discworld}} Foul Ole Ron]], and some fans also refer to the Buffy/Willow pairing as Billow.** Lots of pairing featuring [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Spike]]: Spike/Buffy became "Spuffy", "Spangel" is Spike/Angel, while "Spander" refers to Spike/Xander and "Spillow" to Spike/Willow. "Spawn", meanwhile, is Spike/Dawn. "Spiles" is used for the handful Spike/Giles fanfics. "Harmonike" or "Sparmony" for Harmony/Spike. Spike/Anya has also been known as [[PunnyName Spankya]].** Buffy/Angel is "Bangel."** There's also [[http://harlot2.livejournal.com/4325.html The Clawn]] (Clem/Dawn). ** Not to mention the ''best'' one for Buffy, which is regularly used with a straight face. It's generally an unsentimental ship, no hugs and puppies for anyone involved, canonically or in fic. And yet, its name? Fuffy for Buffy/Faith. It's also referred to as Buffaith, not a huge improvement, but still slightly better.** The canon Tara/Willow is called Willara or Tillow. There's also the canonical but much-maligned Kenlow (Willow/Kennedy).** And "Wuffara"('''W'''illow/B'''uff'''y/T'''ara''' threesome) stories.** In the ''Season 8'' comics, the pairing Buffy/Twilight has occasionally been referred to as [[ShipToShipCombat Blight]].* Scully/Mulder on ''Series/TheXFiles'' became "Sculder" or "Mully".* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':** [[OfficialCouple Clois]] ([[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]][=/=]ComicBook/{{Lois|Lane}}), [[DoomedByCanon Clana]] (Clark/Lana), [[DoomedByCanon Chlark]] ([[TheSmartGuy Chloe]]/Clark), [[BattleCouple Chlollie]] ([[MissionControl Chloe]]/[[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Queen]]), [[UnholyMatrimony Lexana]] (SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor[=/=][[TheCorruptible Lana]]), Chlex ([[FoeYay Chloe/Lex]]).** Due to the fact that Clark and Chloe are both LauncherOfAThousandShips and their ship names tend to start with Cl- and Chl- respectively, many slash ships ([[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls usually on]] [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Clark's side]]) gets mixed up with straight ships on Chloe's side, and the prime example is Clex/Chlex. This ironically also happens with "Chlark" itself, as some people actually thought it is a misspelling of "Clark".** Lesser known pairings include [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Chlod]], Mionel, Clollie (note the lack of the "h"), etc.** They use it in the forums AND on the show itself. ("Lexana" in a newspaper heading as [[spoiler:they get married]] (as a reference to tabloids using {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s with RealLife famous couples, "Bluretto" in the episode "Stiletto" in reference Lois's temporary superhero id and Clark's current press nickname "The Red Blue Blur")* Logan/Veronica on ''Series/VeronicaMars'' became the hilarious/adorable (delete as applicable) "[=LoVe=]." Which was probably better than Veronica/Duncan, which the fans only used their initials and came up with "VD."** Fans use [=DoVe=] for Veronica/Duncan, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.* Tina/Bette on ''Series/TheLWord'' became "[=TiBette=]". Completely inexplicably, given that Bettina is a real name.* [[SoapOpera Daytime soap]] fans seem to have a portmanteau name for every couple, every possible couple, and even every impossible couple. For instance, fans of the incestuous HoYay between sisters Kendall and Bianca (Binks) on ''Series/AllMyChildren'' referred to the pair as "Kinks." Also BAM (Bianca and Maggie) is one of the few that only use the first letter of the characters names.** There's all the hate-names they also have: Lame for Lane (Lilly/Cane), Chain for Chane (Chloe/Cane), Barf for Bianca/Zarf, Zendull for Zendall (Zach/Kedall) and Stinks or Reeks for Rinks (Reese/Binks).* The fandoms for Creator/DisneyChannel Original Series and Movies are fond of this trope:** ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'': Troyella (Troy Bolton/Gabriella Montez), Ryella (Ryan Evans/Gabriella Montez), Chyan (Chad/Ryan) and Troypay (Troy Bolton/Sharpay Evans).** ''HannahMontana'': [[LesYay Liley (Miley Stewart/Lilly Truscott)]], Loliver (Lilly Truscott/ Oliver Oken), Moliver (Oliver Oken/Miley Stewart).** ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'': the infamous [[BrotherSisterIncest Jalex (Justin Russo/Alex Russo)]].** ''Series/SonnyWithAChance'': Channy (Chad Dylan Cooper/Sonny Monroe).** ''Series/ANTFarm'': Flyna (Fletcher Quimby/Chyna Parks), Folive (Fletcher Quimby/Olive Doyle).* ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' has Teriyaki ([[OfficialCouple Terui/Akiko]]), Shotako ([[BelligerentSexualTension Shotaro/Akiko]]) and Makki or Makiko ([[CrackPairing Makura/Akiko]]).* Portmanteau names are also sometimes used by fans of ''Series/TheAmazingRace'' to refer to the teams, without necessarily implying any shipping. This was done most humorously for Heather & Eve in the show's third season: "Heave" referred both to the team and to the reaction they tended to inspire in the show's fans. Other examples are "Momily" (Nancy & Emily, the mother/daughter team from Season 1) and "Dandrew" (Dan & Andrew, Season 13), although IdiosyncraticShipNaming is actually more common with teams.* The ''Series/PrisonBreak'' fandom has [=MiSa=] for Michael/Sara. Less popular examples include Lara or [=LiSa=] (Lincoln/Sara, although it's also used by fans of their friendship), [=KeSa=] (Kellerman/Sara), [=MiSu=] (Michael/Sucre), [=LiSu=] or Surrows (Lincoln/Sucre) and [=LiSo=] (Lincoln/Sofia).** [[TheMafia Abruzzi]]/[[AffablyEvil T-Bag]] are sometimes called Tabruzzi.* Many fans of ''Series/{{Lost}}'' can be divided into "Jaters" (wanting to see Kate with Jack) and "Skaters" (Kate with Sawyer).** Fans even have a platonic portmanteau name for the two show runners, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse: Darlton. The pair are aware of and apparently amused by this.*** Heck, they even made fun of it after the show on Jimmy Kimmel Live when they were in bed together.** The best ''Series/{{Lost}}'' Portmanteau Couple Name has got to be "Charladay" - Charlotte Lewis and Daniel Faraday.** Another ship which has been growing in popularity is "Suliet" (Sawyer and Juliet). And to finish off the love quadrangle, Jack + Juliet becomes... "Jacket".** And there's, of course, the ever-popular [[HoYay Jawyer]] (Jack/Sawyer).** After Dr. Linus, some fans started "Belana" - Ben + Ilana.** Another Ben pairing - Ben/Locke = "Blocke". Heck, it's better than the portmanteau used to describe [[spoiler: the Man in Black as Locke]]: Flocke.** While Charlie and Claire are often referred to as PB&J (which can either stand for Pregnant Babe and Junkie or for Peanut Butter and Jelly, due to them growing closer over [[ItMakesSenseInContext invisible peanut butter]]), they're sometimes called, albeit less popularly, CC or Chaire.** Other ships include: Jun (Jin/Sun), Despenny (Desmond/Penelope), Shayid (Sayid/Shannon), Karlex (Karl/Alex), Shoone (Shannon/Boone), Hubby (Hurley/Libby), Roseard (Rose/Bernard), Benliet (Ben/Juliet), Sana (Sawyer/Ana Lucia)... the list could go forever...* The ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' fandom is ''swarming'' with portmanteau ship names. The [[http://heroeswiki.com/Category:Relationships local wiki]] has a whole category devoted to character relationships, romantic and otherwise, and the only one that doesn't have some kind of portmanteau for a title (including Matt Parkman and his turtle, or "Murtle") is the highly amusing "Peter vs. Sylar" page.** Just how ridiculous are ''Heroes'' shippers about this portmanteau thing? Plenty: the difference between "Claithan" (Claire/Nathan) and "Claitian" (Claire/Haitian) is a serious one. And then there's Peter Petrelli, the LauncherOfAThousandShips of ''Heroes'' fandom: "Petlar" or "Pylar" (Peter/Sylar), "Paire" (Peter/Claire), "Moheter" (Peter/Mohinder), "Padam" (Peter/Adam), "Petelle" or "Pelle" (Peter/Elle), "Plaude" (Peter/Claude), and "Piro" (Peter/Hiro). Funnily enough, there isn't a smushed pairing name for Peter/Nathan ''other'' than "Petrellicest" (and really, the way this show is, that could describe any of four people). Also Kiro (Kensei/Hiro), Hando (Hiro/Ando), Eclaire (Elle/Claire), and Mocah for the ToyShip Molly/Micah. Oh, and Madam (Mohinder/Adam) was hanging around for a while, despite the two never having met. That's not even one-fourth of all the portmanteau couple names in this fandom, mind you.** Matt/Mohinder doesn't have its own portmanteau name, because the pairing comes as a package of three with their Series/MyTwoDads-style daughter, Molly. Thus they are M3, MMM or House of M.** There's also Glaire for Claire/Gretchen which is canon as of the end of season 4. ** It's interesting to note that Zachary Quinto actually coined the term "Sylinder" (Sylar/Mohinder) himself when an red carpet interviewer asked him about his friendly relationship with Sendhil Ramamurthy and he joked that he'd like to do a spinoff sitcom with him with that name. Apparently he's quite aware of the ship, having talked about it frankly and amusedly at interviews and bringing it up randomly at a certain Comicon (to the screaming fangirls' delight, apparently).*** Sylar/Mohinder is also sometimes referred to as Mylar. ** The strange but popular pairing of Sylar/Claire is lovingly referring to as "Sylaire".* ''Series/{{Shameless}} (US)'': Fans of the canon gay pairing Ian/Mickey refer to them as "Gallavich", a combination of Ian ''Gallagher'' and Mickey ''Milkovich''. The term is also used from time to time by those who pair Lip (Ian's brother) with Mandy (Mickey's sister).** Some also use "Fimmy" or "Stona" for Fiona and Jimmy/Steve, depending on which of his two names the fan prefers.* "Chameron", "Hameron", "Huddy", "Chouse", and "Wilhouse"/"Wouse"/"Hilson" from ''Series/{{House}}'' fandom.** "Foreteen" (Foreman/Thirteen) was actually used ''in'' the show; House calls them that in the Season 5 episode "Unfaithful". The Spanish subtitlers for Latin America obviously don't know about ship names, because they translated this one as "Catorce" ("Fourteen"). Luckily, the name still ''kinda'' works in the sense of "Thirteen plus one".* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' includes "Jeffster" for Jeff/Lester right in the show as the name of their band. Also, fans popularly refer to Chuck/Sarah as "Charah" in the fandom.** Chuck and Sarah are referred to as such in the show itself by Casey in the episode "Chuck Versus The Masquerade":--> '''Casey''' (to Morgan): Yeah? Look who's talking, you live in Charah's appartment.* Kirk/Spock from ''Franchise/StarTrek'' became "Spirk" (though it's sometimes jokingly called "Kock" or "Kick"). There's even an ''[[SeriousBusiness ongoing debate]]'' over which one should be the "official" pairing name, with a third subset of fans wailing that a portmanteau does - well, something bad to the fandom, anyway - and that the only proper shortening of the pairing is K/S.** There's "[=McSpirk=]", for all three men. Though "[=McSpork=]" would probably be funnier.** "[=Chulu=]" is becoming rather popular for Chekov/Sulu, as is Spuhura for Spock/Uhura. They're been popping up like whack-a-moles since the new film came out.** Scones came up on the kink meme as a name for the Bones/Scotty ship.** Jones for the pairing of Kirk and [=McCoy=], aka Jim and Bones* ''Terminator TheSarahConnorChronicles'' already had "Camerah" for Cameron/Sarah after just one episode. As well as "Jameron", "Jamerek" and "Dameron" for John/Cameron, John/Cameron/Derek and Cameron/Derek.* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has several of these, ranging from ''{{Mighty Morphin|Power Rangers}}'' 's Tommy/Kim into "Tim," ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]]'' 's Kira/Tommy into "[[TeacherStudentRomance Kirommy]]," to ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]'' 's Sky/Bridge into "[[HoYay Skidge]]." When characters Mack, Will, Ronny, and Rose appeared in ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]'', various combinations resulting in "Rock" and "Roll" were inevitable. And now we have [[Series/PowerRangersMegaForce Gia and Emma]] = Giemma. * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' has several of these as well: "Silee" or "Saylee" (the Simon/Kaylee OfficialCouple), as well as "Jaylee" (Jayne/Kaylee), "Rayne" (the odd and verging on FoeYay Jayne/River ship), "Zayne" (Zoe/Jayne), "Jaynara" (Jayne/Inara), and "Kaynara" (Kaylee/Inara). "Maliver" for Mal/River fans. Also, guess what ship is referred to as "[[BrotherSisterIncest Crazy Space Incest]]" or "Tamcest".* This idea has exploded with ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. Sort of understandable in that one of the main character's name is [=McKay=], which has lead to various pairings like [=McWeir=] ([=McKay=] and Elizabeth Weir), [=McShep=] ([=McKay=] and John Sheppard), [=McCarter=] ([=McKay=] and Samantha Carter), [=McKeller=]... you get the idea.** Aversion: the Sheppard/Weir pairing is called "Sparky". The person who started the Sheppard/Weir LJ community hated portmanteau ship names and said something like "We're not calling this pairing Shweir! Anything but that! We can even call it 'Sparky' if you like!" and it stuck. This also appears to be an allusion to the character Sheppard's obsession with having to name new things/concepts himself rather than allowing anyone else to coin the terms.* Fans of the ''Series/{{Reaper}}'' ship Sam/Devil tend to call it "Sevil".* ''Series/{{Greek}}'': The forum wars are between Caspie (Casey/Cappie) and Cabecca (Cappie/Rebecca). While the {{OTP}} is Caspie, the current OfficialCouple is Cabecca. Not pretty.* ''Series/TheNewNormal'' Brian + David = Bravid.* ''Franchise/CSIVerse'': Grillows (Grissom/Willows), Sandles (Greg/Sara), Snickers (Sara/Nick) [=DuCaine=] (Horatio/Calleigh), Wedges ([[TheLabRat Lab Rats]] Wendy and Hodges),, among others. The OfficialCouple ships [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming aren't in this form]], save Flangell (Flack/Angell). (though Dantana is close-Danny/'Montana' (Lindsay's nickname).)** It would take pages to list all the portmanteaus from all 3 shows, but if you go to the series' main forum, Talk CSI, you can access a fairly comprehensive list in the Shipper Central forum.** CSI also has an inversion of sorts of this with a non-shipping portmanteau: During seasons 10 and 11, fans started referring to the Nate Haskell and Ray Langston interactions as "Raskell".* ''Series/GreysAnatomy'': the short lived Addison/Alex portmanteau Addisex. The canon relationship of Callie and Erica became known as Callica in fandom. Additionally: [=MerDer=] for Meredith and Derek, Calzona for Callie and Arizona and Crowen for Cristina and Owen.* ''Series/SouthOfNowhere'' fans refer to Spencer/Anybody by putting Spencer's name first: Spashley/Spash (Spencer/Ashley), Spangs/Sparmen (Spencer/Carmen AKA Bangs), Spaiden (Spencer/Aiden) etc.* One ''Series/DoctorWho'' CrackPairing seems to have come about ''because'' of the portmanteau: "Onose" (One/Rose, i.e. First Doctor / Rose. It is, of course, pronounced "Oh noes").** Other Rose pairings include "Drose" (Doctor/Rose), "Nose" (Nine/Rose) and "Tose" (Ten/Rose, pronounced like "toes"). Possibly Rickey (Rose/Mickey) as well, though it shares a name with Mickey's ([[BuryYourGays dead]]) alternate universe counterpart.** The Doctor/TARDIS pairing is unfortunately sometimes known as 'Doctard'** The Classic series also has "Nysric" (Nyssa/Adric).** The Second Doctor would sometimes refer to companions Jamie and Zoe collectively as "Joey" -- a rare case of the portmanteau coming from within the show.** Classic and new series has "Dromana" (Doctor/Romana).** "Whoufflé" for Doctor/Clara, playing off the series name and Clara's love for soufflés.** Ten/Rose is generally called Tenrose at this point.** Some fans have adopted "Twissy" for the Twelfth Doctor and Missy.* The fandom of spinoff ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' gets into the act as well. Janto, Gwack, Gwys, Towen, and Janten sound utterly ridiculous (Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Jack, Gwen/Rhys, Tosh/Owen, and Jack/Ianto/Tenth Doctor, respectively).** Spoofed in [[http://castrovalva9.livejournal.com/13370.html this fanfic]] and its prequel.* To complete the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}} trio, ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' has Cluke (Clyde/Luke), Clani (Clyde/Rani) and Lukria (Maria/Luke) among others. Luke used "Clani" in-universe in the final serial before the series' [[CharacterOutlivesActor untimely cancellation]].* In ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'', the canon couple of Paige and Alex became Palex, and was actually referred to as such by one of the characters in the show. There's also Crash (Craig/Ashley) and Cranny (Craig/Manny). Pia and Miater were both suggested in series for Peter/Mia.** Anyone paired with Ellie tends to come out kind of strange - Mellie (Marco/Ellie) Pellie (Paige/Ellie), Jellie (Jesse/Ellie) and Crellie (Craig/Ellie). Also, there's Darco (Dylan/Marco) Crarco (Craig/Marco) Sparco (Spinner/Marco) and Tarco, occasionally reffered to as Mim (Tim/Marco). And Piley (Peter/Riley).** Clare seems to get interesting pairing names. Eclare (Eli/Clare), Flare or Clitz (Fitz/Clare), Klare (KC/Clare), [=DeClare=] (Clare/Declan), and the newest, Cake (Jake/Clare)** Holly J's pairing names come off odd due to the initial she carries, but she's had Spolly J (Spinner), Blue J (Blue), Spolly Jane (Spinner and Jane), Spolly Jay (Spinner and Jay), Dolly J (Declan), Sally J (Sav) or Savvy J (also Sav), and Folly J/[[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Lesbiona J]] (Fiona).** Season 11 & 12 introduces the friendship that slowly but surely blossoms into a full blown romantic relationship between the eccentric Imogen Moreno and former party girl Fiona Coyne, who are affectionately called "Fimogen" by their supporters.* In ''Series/GossipGirl'', these names aren't always used but can still be found sometimes. With the main pairings there's Darena (Serena/Dan) and Chair (Chuck/Blair). Less common pairings are Waldsen (Serena Van Der ''Woodsen''/Blair ''Waldorf''), Dair (Dan/Blair), and Nair/Blate (Nate/Blair). Also, not seen that often (probably due to the ridiculousness of it) but occasionally, the name Duck (Dan/Chuck) pops up.** Chuck/Blair is also known as Bluck and Serenanate stands for, well, Serena and Nate.* Fans of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' have called Monica and Chandler "Mondler," a name actually used by Ross in one episode. "Chanoey" (also a term from the show, though used by Phoebe as a suggestion for a way to name a baby after both of them) has also been used for Chandler/Joey.** A possible ship name for Phoebe/Joey is "Phooey".* ''Series/{{Bones}}'' fandom had Hodgela for the ship of Hodgins and Angela, and Brenangela or Brengela for the popular femmeslash pair of Brennan and Angela, although remarkably, the main {{OTP}} of the series, Booth/Brennan, does not have a portmanteau couple name--though their initials, BB, are often used in fanfic summaries and have pretty much become the equivalent of a name.** Actually, for Booth and Brennan, there are the rarely-used "Semperance" and "Teeley". Also, Sweets/Daisy is often referred to as "Swaisy".* ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'' shippers are fond of the remarkably painful-sounding "Howince". Though actually, it's the more 'serious' (read, crazy) fans who call it Howince. Most people just refer to it as Boosh slash.* In an episode of ''Series/{{Jericho}}'', Stanley and Mimi actually have a discussion over what their couple name should be. Mimi is rather appalled that Stanley's comparing them to Brangelina. It is Stanley who dubs the name for them "Stimi".* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' has at least the Tiva shippers who used to fight heavily with the Tate shippers. The Tivas kept saying Tate never was an option since Kibbs/Gate was to happen if anything, but of course the Gabby shippers would have hung them had the Tabby shipper not stopped them from doing so... Jibbs might be well established too, and let's not forget [=McNozzo=], [=McAbby=], [=McGiva=], and Tibbs.** Kari's also got a couple of fans, but most people are disgusted by the fact that he killed her. Kind of put a spanner in the works.** Tiva has been mentioned in interviews with the actors. It gets entertaining.*** USA apparently ships it: their recent Tony and Ziva centric marathon was the "Tiva Marathon".** Also, some have come across the extremely odd, yet hilariously named Palmer and Fornell ship, "Pornell". As you could probably guess, it doesn't have a very large fan base...** Don't forget Leemer for Lee and Palmer!*** Some fans of the Jibbs pairing refer to hypothetical children of the pair as "Jibblets," a portmanteau of "Jibbs" and a term used once on the show for a child of Gibbs, "Gibblet."** Another in-show example after Tony notices sparks between Gibbs and CGIS Agent Abigail Borin:--->'''Tony:''' What, nobody else [[ShipperOnDeck on Team Bibbs]]?** Michael Weatherly has also mentioned McGony in an interview.** In "Canary", a recent episode that had a fairly high amount of interaction between [=McGee=] and Abby, Abby at one point joyously declared, "From the ashes, [=McAbby=] will rise!** ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' gets into the act with "Densi" (Deeks/Kensi). CBS not only officially adopted this as well as "Tiva", but sells "Densi" T-shirts!* ''Series/{{Suits}}'' fans came up with Marvey for Harvey/Mike and Darvey for Harvey/Donna. Apparently Harvey's name lends itself to these.* Used ''in the show'' on ''Series/FridayNightLights'' as Smash's first-season love interest Waverly briefly dubs their relationship "the Waverlash". Otherwise, the show seems immune to name-smooshing.* The fledgling ''Series/{{Castle}}'' fandom has already coined "Caskett" (Castle/Beckett), which is really quite remarkably clever when you think about it.** As of the release of the {{defictionalization}} of Rick Castle's novel ''Heat Wave'', the {{slash}} pairing of detectives Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito is sometimes referred to as "Roach", after the nickname given their [[WriteWhoYouKnow fictional counterparts]] "Raley" and "Ochoa". [[RuleThirtyFour And yes]], there are [[PostModernism Roach fanfics about Roach fanfics]]. Appropriate to a series which has basically thrown it's GenreBlindness out the window.** There's also the ''canon'' name Esplainie, for Esposito and Lanie.** Castle used "Caskett" to Beckett when she asked if they were like "Brangelina".* ''Series/{{MASH}}'' had [=PierceIntyre=] -- used canonically by Henry (though their clueless Colonel probably wasn't aware of the [[HoYay implications]]).** Also Hawpper for the same pairing, B-eye for B.J./Hawkeye, and Hawkney for Sidney/Hawkeye.* About 90% of the ''LifeWithDerek'' fandom ships {{UST}}-tastic [[FlirtyStepsiblings step-siblings]] Derek and Casey, referring to the ship as "Dasey". Other popular pairing names include "Lizwin" (Lizzie/Edwin), "Shemily" (Sheldon/Emily), "Demily" (Derek/Emily), "Dally" (Derek/Sally), "Trasey" (Truman/Casey), "Masey" (Max/Casey), "Sasey" (Sam/Casey), and "Salph" (Sam/Ralph).* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': Turk and Carla were sarcastically referred to by Dr. Cox as "Curk" and "Tarla" in one episode. Later, in the "My Princess" episode, Cox represents the two in his story as a two-headed witch named "Turla".** Some fans use [=JDox=] (JD/Cox), Jelliot (JD/Elliot), and Jorlliet (Jordan/Elliot).* The ''Series/ICarly'' fandom uses this extensively:** "Cam" (Carly/Sam), "Carper" (Carly/Harper), "Creddie" (Carly/Freddie), "Seddie" (Sam/Freddie), [[CargoShip "Sham"]] (Sam/Ham), "Spam" (Spencer/Sam), "Fencer" (Freddie/Spencer, and is also a reference to an episode), "Crediam" or "Seddily" (Sam/Freddie/Carly OT3).*** Spencer insults two truckers named Sledgehammer and Porkchop over a CB Radio by asking if they would be named "Sledgechop" or "Porkhammer" in the event of a marriage.*** Creddie vs. Seddie is used directly in the episode ''iStart A Fan War'', which features in-story [=iCarly=] fans warring over their favorite ships at a con (along with an infamous ShipTease).** Outside of the ''Series/ICarly'' shipping wars, there's Niranda (Creator/NathanKress and Creator/MirandaCosgrove) and Jathan (Creator/JennetteMcCurdy and Creator/NathanKress). There's also Jerrette (Jerry Trainor and Creator/JennetteMcCurdy) for the MayDecemberRomance version. On the fem side there is also Jiranda (Creator/JennetteMcCurdy and Creator/MirandaCosgrove).* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' had many the day that the series came out, probably due to the popularity of portmanteau couple names on ''Series/ICarly'' above, from the same creator: "Bade" (Beck/Jade), "Bori" (Beck/Tori), "Cabbie" (Cat/Robbie), "Tandre" (Tori/Andre), "Trobbie" (Trina/Robbie), "Cade" (Cat/Jade), Bat (Beck/Cat), Jori (Jade/Tori), and many, many others.** LesYay OT3 wise, we have Catorade (Cat+Tori+Jade).* "[[Series/JeevesAndWooster Jooster]]". Originally coined by StephenFry himself, though in a completely different context (talking about how he felt that he had attributes of both Bertie Wooster and Jeeves).* ''Series/{{Skins}}'' fans wasted no time in combining the Emily/Naomi ship into "Naomily", which has permeated to the extent that E4 use it for official stuff (most notably the Unseen Skins features), and even the more mainstream media have picked it up. "Freffy" and "Ceffy" - Freddie/Effy and Cook/Effy - are codified, but vastly less popular; "Keffy" for Katie/Effy is established, but suffers from being non-canon.** Those who [[ActorShipping Actor Ship]] Lily Loveless and Kathryn Prescott (Naomi and Emily) have a few; "[=LoveScott=]" is around but rare, but vastly more common is "[=LilyKat=]". A very drunk attempt at typing the latter while providing {{Twitter}} coverage of an event they were attending at a nightclub also spawned the highly bizarre "[=LiltJar=]", which is fast becoming a shibboleth for the fandom.** From the first generation, there's PowerCouple Sid/Cassie, which were quickly nicknamed Sassie by fans. Other common nicknames are Chral (Chris/Jal), Taxxie (Tony/Maxxie), Chassie (Chris/Cassie), and [[BrotherSisterIncest Teffy or Stonemcest]] (Tony/Effy).* In the TV show ''Series/{{Merlin}}'', the ship Merlin/Arthur has become Merthur, or Arlin, depending on your preference.** [=ArMor=], the ship name for ''Ar''thur/''Mor''gana is both this and an [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Idiosyncratic Ship Name]], as it also refers to a particularly popular scene between the two in the second episode of the series. Some fans think it would be better for the Merlin/Arthur pairing due to its pronunciation (Ar''mer'' as opposed Ar''mor''), and for all the times that Merlin helps Arthur with his armour.** Also [=Arwen=] for Arthur/Gwen, which can be [[Literature/LordOfTheRings misleading]] or just plain annoying for fans searching for their ship.** Mergana for Merlin/Morgana.** Morwen for Morgana/Gwen.** Merwen for Merlin/Gwen.** Merdred for Merlin/Mordred.*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiW7y9uqSWE This video]] amusingly demonstrates what happens when the fans list off [[LauncherOfAThousandShips several ship names]] to the actors.**** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Why is there a ship?"]]* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Wincest]], which is [[SiblingIncest exactly what it sounds]] [[{{Squick}} like]]. But most other pairings fall into this trope:** Dean/Castiel is Destiel. When the brothers discovers the pairing in-univers, Sam muses that "Deastiel" would be more appropriate.** Sam/Lucifer is Samifer, but this term has also begun to describe [[spoiler:when Lucifer is using Sam as a vessel in The End]].** Sam/Gabriel is Samriel or Sabriel (which can be a bit of a MindScrew for a ''Supernatural'' fan who also enjoys the [[Literature/{{Sabriel}} novel of the same name]]).** Sam/Castiel is Sassy (for Sammy/Cas), or the relatively new Sastiel.** Sam/Ruby is sometimes referred to as Samby.** And then there's the [[OT3 third option]], Wincestiel.** [[AngelDevilShipping Meg and Castiel]] = Megstiel. This made it into the actual series in season 8 "Goodbye Stranger".** Dean/Benny is Denny, and Destiny for Dean/Castiel/Benny.** There's also Crobby (Crowley/Bobby), Samelia (Sam/Amelia), Sevin (Sam/Kevin), Calthazar (Cas/Balthazar), Michifer (Michael/Lucifer) and [[CrackPairing Adamandriel]] (Adam Milligan/Samandriel), among others.* ''Series/TeenWolf'' has Scallison for Scott and Allison.** Also Sterek for Stiles/Derek.** As the series grew popular, so did the ship names; now there's Stydia (Stiles/Lydia), Jydia (Jackson/Lydia), Halemore (Derek ''Hale''/Jackson Whitte''more''), Scisaac (Scott/Isaac), Pydia (Peter/Lydia), Dennifer (Derek/Jennifer), Allydia (Allison/Lydia), Dethan (Danny/Ethan), Derica (Derek/Erica), Sterica (Stiles/Erica), Dackson (Jackson/Danny), and the list goes on and on...* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' has "Wemma" for Will/Emma, "Quick" for Quinn/Puck "Quichel" or "Faberry" for Quinn/Rachel, "Puckleberry" for Puck/Rachel and "Finchel" for Finn/Rachel. Believe it or not, among the hardcore Glee fans, "Faberry" is the most popular pairing of them all besides it being somewhat of a CrackPairing viewed from LesYay goggles cranked UpToEleven.** ''Series/{{Glee}}'' is notable in that the characters themselves refer to their various relationships by {{Fan Nickname}}s.** Puck/Rachel/Finn can be called Puckleberry Finn.** And let's not forget "Brittana" and "Santittany" for Brittany/Santana.*** The same conversation in {{Canon}} that gave us Santittany also gave us Artcedes for Artie/Mercedes.** Quinn/Rachel was rechristened "Faberry" after the fandom decided that "Quichel" was too difficult to pronounced and looked a good deal like quiche, among other things.** Guess what Puck/Finn is referred to.*** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Pinn?]]** Sam/Puck also has an... interestingly appropriate portmanteau** Finn/Kurt is Furt. [[AscendedMeme Which is also the name of Episode 2x8]].*** Kinn seems to be more common, and some writers use Furt exclusively to refer to the sibling relationship between the two. Hudmel is also used, though usually as a name for the Hudson/Hummel family as a whole.** Kurt and Rachel are referred to as Hummelberry. Early users of the name used this to ship the two romantically but the growing relationship between them in season 2 (and solidified with a song at the finale) made it used more exclusively to refer to their friendship.** Blaine/Kurt is Blurt.*** Or Klaine. Generally the most popular/used of the shipping names.*** Or [[Music/KurtCobain Kurt Co]][[{{Pun}} Blaine]].**** Kurt Coblaine has been repurposed for the Kurt/Blaine/Cooper relationship.** Blaine and Rachel were christened Raine (though in rarer cases Blainchel) after their short-lived relationship on the show.*** After someone on {{Tumblr}} came up with the idea, there has been a heavy influx of [[AlternateUniverseFic AU fics]] in which Blaine and Rachel are brother and sister. Their sibling relationship is called Anderberry (Anderson/Berry).** Kurt/Karofsky is Kurtofsky.*** And sometimes Karommel.** Finn/Karofsky is Finnofsky or Hudofsky and Blaine/Karofsky is Blainofsky or Blaive** Kurt/Sam is Kum.*** Skurt and Kam are also common.**** Though, after Kum, the most used name is Hevans. Also, Humans** And [[WordOfGod according to Mark Salling]], Puck/Artie is Partie.** Artie and Tina are/were Artina or Tartie.** Kurt/Puck is Puckurt, Purt or Pummel.** Kurt/Will is often shortened to Kill.** Jesse and Rachel are often shortened as St. Berry.** Wes and David (the David from Dalton, not Dave Karofsky) are sometimes called Wevid.** Two of the background Warblers, Nick and Jeff, are shipped together as Niff.** Pizes for Puck/Lauren in-universe; Luck is also used among fans.** Tina and Mike are Tike to fans and McTina Cohen-Chang-Chang in-universe.** Artie and Brittany are Artittany in-universe, but more commonly known by the fans as Bartie.** Santana refers to [[TheBeard herself and Karofsky]] as "Santofsky" after [[spoiler: almost coming out to the school with Brittany but losing her nerve]].** As of the season two finale, [[spoiler: Sam and Mercedes are Samcedes]].** As of season 3, Seblaine for Sebastian/Blaine.*** There's also Kurtbastian (Kurt/Sebastian) and Sebklaine (Sebastian/Kurt/Blaine).** Also Irishofsky for Rory Flanagan/Dave Karofsky, from back when it was known that Damian McGinty (who is Irish) was joining the show in season 3, but not yet what his character's name would be.** After "Extraordinary Merry Christmas", Sory, Smory, and Flanavans are used to describe Sam/Rory.** Flanamotta or Sweet Potatoes[[note]]"Sweet" comes from Sugar, "Potatoes" comes from Rory being Irish[[/note]] for Rory/Sugar** Cherry for Mike/Rachel.** Fabang for Mike/Quinn.** Bike for Mike/Brittany.** Fabrevans for the canon Quinn/Sam relationship.** Klainchel, for Kurt/Blaine/Rachel, which can be used for either a three-way friendship or a three-way... [[OneTrueThreesome something else]].** Adding together the pairings of Brittana and Faberry gets you the OT4 Faberrittana.*** Other pairings inside Faberrittana are Pezberry, Pieberry (or Britberry), Quinntana, and Quitt. Threesomes are The Unholy Trinity or Queerios (Santana/Brittany/Quinn), Fapezberry (Quinn/Santana/Rachel), and Brittanaberry (Brittany/Santana/Rachel).** Sebofsky for Sebastian/Dave.** Sebtana for Sebastian/Santana.** Rorbastian for Rory/Dave.** Rormony for Rory/Harmony.** Bike Chanderson for the season 3 {{Canon}} friendship between Blaine Anderson and Mike Chang.*** Actually, Bike Chanderson is the '''romantic''' ship name for Blaine Anderson and Mike Chang. They were crackshipped earlier in season 2 during Blaine's introduction, originally called "Bike"... You can guess why they '''chang'''ed the name. After Comic Con 2011 had the respective actors [[HeterosexualLifePartners getting closer]], '''Klaine and Tike fans''' decided that they were best friends because [[spoiler:they wanted Blaine to have at least one friend and wanted double dates.]] Ryan made it so.**** Alternatively called "Blike" or "Chan(g)derson" by casuals who don't know any better. Both are frowned upon.** As of Season 4, we get Jarley for Jake/Marley, Ryley for Ryder/Marley, Jitty for Jake/Kitty, and Karley for Kitty/Marley. There's also Jayder for Jake/Ryder, Rinn for Ryder/Finn, Bram for Sam/Brittany and Brochel for Brody/Rachel.** And let's not forget [[IncestIsRelative Puckercest]] (Puck/Jake).** The most recent addition is also the rising HoYay pairing Hunter/Sebastian, which is referred to as "Huntbastian" by fans.** The episode "Sadie Hawkins" gave us another canon couple name: Blatina (Blaine/Tina), though Blina is more popular amongst the fans.** There's also Blam for Blaine and Sam which is used both romantically and platonically. This one has been said many times on the show.* ''Series/TheMentalist'' gave us the unintentionally hilarious (but widely used) Jisbon (Jane/Lisbon), a.k.a. Jello. Also, Rigspelt for Van Pelt/Rigsby. They're all kinda pathetic, aren't they?** There's also Chelise, for Cho and his (hardly seen) girlfriend Elise.* ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' has an abundance of these - Brynette, Kathree, Sudie, Brorson, Brarl, Tynette, etc.* ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' has Jim + Pam = Jam. Now we just need one for Andy Bernard and Erin... Ernard? [[SciFiNameBuzzwords Andrin]]?** There's also Dwangela (Dwight + Angela), although that ship seems to have been sufficiently [[ShipSinking sunk]].** InUniverse, when Kevin thinks Pam and Jim are not seeing each other he complains that he won't get to call them "PB&J" (Pam Beesley & Jim). Possibly a FandomNod to the example above.* These in ''Series/LazyTown'' fandom are more like those in anime fandoms than other western fandoms, usually containing a full syllable or two of each name. Examples include [=SportaSteph=] for Sportacus/Stephanie, and [=SportaRobbie=] for Sportacus/Robbie. Everybody except Stephanie and Sportacus has a two syllable name, so for most characters one uses their full name, making the name of a ship that doesn't involve one of the two heroes arguably not a portmanteau at all.* In-universe example: Shortly after Eric and Donna have sex for the first time on ''Series/That70sShow'', Eric describes to Hyde that it felt like becoming a new entity altogether..."Donric Formciotti".* ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'' has Clopher for Claire/Topher, Tennett for Topher/Bennett, Pecho for Paul/Echo, Baunders for Boyd/Saunders and the bizarre-sounding Pellie for Paul/Mellie.* ''Series/{{Psych}}'': 'Shules' for Shawn/Juliet and 'Shassie' for Shawn/Lassie (the latter was actually used in the show itself, alongside "Shassiter" and "Sharlton," when Shawn got excited over Lassiter following his gut instincts).* Go on, take a wild guess which pairing "Galex" refers to in ''AshesToAshes'' fandom. It's also the only portmanteau name used by parts of fandom - Chris/Shaz seems to have escaped, for now.* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' brings you... [[HoYay Joike]]. Yes, Joike. Used as an in-universe gag, though not with that intent.** Also, [[HoYay Crom]], for those of you with an interest in RidiculouslyHumanRobots. This one has a little more weight to it-- the characters have spent more than five minutes together, and Crow has had a couple of... moments.* The ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' fandom is split almost perfectly in half: on one side, the Bensler ([[ActionGirl Oliva Benson]] and [[SociopathicHero Elliot Stabler]]) shippers; on the other, the Cabensons ([[HelloAttorney Alex Cabot]] and [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Olivia Benson again]]). Neither term is widely used.** After Stabler left, the portmanteaus became the preferred way of identifying ships. In addition to the two above, there is Calex (Casey Novak/Alex Cabot), Barson (Rafael Barba/Olivia Benson), Bensidy (Olivia Benson/Brian Cassidy), Rollaro (Nick Amaro/Amanda Rollins), Rolivia (Amanda Rollins/Olivia Benson), Bensaro (Olivia Benson/Nick Amaro), Barmaro (Rafael Barba/Nick Amaro), and countless others.* Common among the popular/long-lasting couples on ''SoYouThinkYouCanDance''. Most prominent would be Ivison (Ivan/Allison), Katua (Katee/Joshua), and Marksie (Mark/Chelsie). Sometimes acknowledged on the show, with "Benjelle" (Benji/Donyelle) [later parodied with "Tranji" (Travis/Benji)] and "Twitchington" (Twitch/Kherington). Also can pop up for couples that didn't actually happen, such as "Travison" (Travis/Allison) and [[HoYay "Trivan" (Travis/Ivan)]].* ''Series/UnnaturalHistory'' has Hesper (Henry/Jasper), Menry or Haggie for Henry/Maggie, Jaggie (Jasper/Maggie), and Hespaggie for Henry/Jasper/Maggie.* ''Series/OneTreeHill'' has such gems as Naley (Nathan/Haley), Pucas (Peyton/Lucas haters), Leyton (Peyton/Lucas), and Brucas (Brooke/Lucas).** Let's not forget the LesYay shippers with Breyton (Brooke/Peyton), Brachel (Brooke/Rachel), Paley (Peyton/Haley), and Peytanna (Peyton/Anna). Just to name a few.* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' fans use 'Wilkercest'. Even though it's often used in general terms, due to the popularity of the pairing, it can also mean Malcolm/Reese specifically. Interesting in that the altered surname, Wilkerson, isn't even necessarily canon (used in the first episode, then arguably {{RetCon}}ned).* It took a while for ''Series/CoronationStreet'' viewers to work out how best to combine Sophie and Sian; Siophie seems to be winning out.* Fans of ''Series/EastEnders'' quickly coined Chryed -- Christian and Syed. Due to the couple's popularity, the BBC website and even the actors have dropped the pairing name in interviews.* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' introduced an in-universe example when Leonard dubbed Sheldon and Amy "Shamy"...to which Amy (predictably) took exception to. Fans also use "Shenny" for Sheldon/Penny.** And "Lenny" for Leonard/Penny.* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' fandom seems to avoid this, with the exception of Starpollo (Starbuck and Apollo), although Rosadama (Roslin and Adama) does make the odd appearance. Couple names are usually connected by slashes. Perhaps because the characters' names don't lend themselves to portmanteaus.* Fans of ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' have too many to count, due to the large amounts of ShipTease on the show. Some of the most common ones include:** [[OfficialCouple Stelena]] -- Stefan/Elena** [[FanPreferredCouple Delena]] -- Damon/Elena** Stebekah -- Stefan/Rebekah** Roman -- Rose/Damon** Steferine or Statherine -- Stefan/Katherine** Datherine -- Damon/Katherine** Daroline -- Damon/Caroline** Dalaric -- Damon/Alaric** Jalaric -- Jenna/Alaric** Jerennie or Beremy -- Bonnie/Jeremy** Forwood -- Caroline ''Forbes''/Tyler ''Lockwood''. Apparently no one liked Caroler or Tyline (which does sound like a cleaning agent).*** The amount of crackships this show generates is amazing, probably due to the fact that 99% of the cast is good-looking. Oh, and all the HoYay and LesYay could make a crackshipper die of happiness. Here are a few:**** Jyler or Jeremy/Tyler -- which began as FoeYay then eventually turned into HoYay**** Kateline or Fortrova -- Caroline Forbes/Katerina Petrova a.k.a Katherine Pierce**** Giltrova or Katelena -- Katherine/Elena -- holds great appeal to some fans and femslash writers, since the two are ''completely identical''.**** Klaroline -- Klaus/Caroline**** Stelijah -- Elijah/Stefan**** Delijah -- Elijah/Damon**** Klamon -- Klaus/Damon**** Klelijah -- Klaus/Elijah**** As of Season Three, [[HoYay Klefan]] a.k.a Klaus/Stefan.**** Also, Jeremy/Caroline (Jeroline), Stefan/Caroline (Steroline), Elena/Elijah (Elejah), Katherine/Elijah (Katjah or Kalijah), Katherine/Klaus (Klatherine or Klaterina), Bonnie/Damon (Bamon), Stefan/Bonnie (Stefonnie), Klaus/Charlotte Petrova (Klaulette) and more.** The series' spin-off, ''Series/TheOriginals'', introduced various of these, but the one that quickly became the main focus was [[BrotherSisterIncest Klebekah]] (Klaus/Rebekah). Elijah and Hayley (Haylijah) and Rebekah and Hayley (Haybekah) quickly became popular as well. There's also the appropiately named "Rebel" (Marcel/Rebekah).* In-universe in ''Series/RoyalPains''. In "Astraphobia," when Evan and Divya discover that Jill and Hank have gotten back together (again), Evan comments, "Oh my god, Jill and Hank. Jank! Jank is back!" Then he proposes that since they make such a good team, [[ShipTease he and Divya should have a combo name]]. He rejects "Evadivs" and considers "Divyan." Divya suggests, "Divya [[BelligerentSexualTension and idiot]]. Diddiot."* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'' has Nina and Fabian paired up as "Fabina". It has even been used on the show.** That's not the end of it. There's also... Jabian (Joy/Fabian, another one that has appeared on the show), Peddie (Patricia/Eddie), Jara (Jerome/Mara), Amfie (Amber/Alfie, also appearing on the show), Mickra (Mick and Mara), and that's just scratching the surface. Really, any possible pairing on this show will have one of these names. There have even been arguments over which name is the 'official' one to use.* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' gives us Conby (Connor/Abby), Click (Claudia/Nick), Nickenny (Jenny/Nick), Janny or Denny (Danny/Jenny), Secker (Sarah/Becker), Jecker or Jesker (Jess/Becker), Memily (Matt/Emily), and probably tons more that no one bothers to think of.* The ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' fandom has the "[=BROtp=]" for [[FanPreferredCouple Barney/Robin]], a combination of their names and the term [[OneTruePairing OTP]].** Another version is "Swarkles" (SWARLEY + robin SPARKLES = SWARKLES)* Rob and Amber from ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' and Series/TheAmazingRace were dubbed "Romber" after the Survivor: All Stars season ended with them in the final two.* Jules and Sam from ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' are known as "Jam".* From the ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' fandom, which - as you will soon see - consists of practically every ship imaginable (and even some that are not): ** Het pairings: Sherlene, Sherene, Adlock (Sherlock/Irene Adler); Sherlolly, Sherolly, Mollock (Sherlock/Molly); Jolly, Johnlolly (John/Molly); Lestrolly, Molstrade, Lolly (Lestrade/Molly); Mythea (Mycroft/Anthea); Morene (Moriarty/Irene); Myrene (Mycroft/Irene); Molliarty (the very briefly canon [[spoiler:Molly/Moriarty]]), Mollcroft, Molcroft (Molly/Mycroft), Salcroft (Sally/Mycroft)** Slash pairings: Johnlock (John/Sherlock); Mystrade (Mycroft/Lestrade); [=MorMor=] (Moriarty/Sebastian Moran); Sherstrade (Sherlock/Lestrade); Johnstrade (John/Lestrade); Jimlock, Sheriarty (Sherlock/Jim Moriarty); Johncroft (John/Mycroft); Mylock (Mycroft/Sherlock); Johnbastian (John/Sebastian Moran); Morlock (Sebastian Moran/Sherlock)** Femslash pairings: Molrene, Mollene (Molly/Irene)** [=OT3s=]: Jollock (John/Molly/Sherlock); Johnlockstrade (John/Sherlock/Lestrade)* An in-universe example from ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. Shortly after he and Ann Perkins begin dating, Tom Haverford announces the official debut of their couple name -- "Tan". She instantly announces the official end of the couple name, and he bounces back with "Haverkins".* ''Series/{{Community}}'' has one lone PortmanteauCoupleName that is used in fandom and shipping: Trobed, stemming from the canon referral to [[HoYay Troy and Abed's]] new apartment as La Casa Chez Trobed.* ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'' shippers refer to Jane/Maura as Rizzles.** Also Frostie for Frost/Frankie* ''Series/GreenWing'''s Caroline/Mac pairing is Caromac.* The ''{{Series/Grimm}}'' publicity folks have been using "Monrosalee" and "Monromance" when talking about Monroe and Rosalie. * ''Series/OnceUponATime'' combines this trope with IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Any pairing with Emma Swan has the word "Swan" in it. Captain Swan for Emma/Hook, Swanfire for Emma/Neal, Mad Swan for Emma/Jefferson, Golden Swan for Emma/Rumpelstilskin, and Frozen Swan for Emma/[[spoiler: Elsa]]. And this is just for ''one'' character.** Its actually easier to list the ships don't also fall under IdiosyncraticShipNaming.*** Rumbelle for Rumpelstiltskin/Belle.*** Snowing for Snow White/Prince Charming*** Gremma for Graham/Emma*** Even though its more commonly referred to as Captain of Hearts, some jokingly refer to Cora/Captain Hook as Cook* ''Series/BombGirls'' fans refer to Betty [=McRae=]/anybody by putting the first syllable of Betty's surname first: [=McAndrews=](Betty/Kate Andrews), [=McWitham=] (Betty/Gladys Witham) and [=McBond=] (Betty/Teresa Hill, the bond tour soldier).* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' fans have names for every conceivable ship (romantic ''and'' platonic). Some of the most common ones include:** Ezria -- Aria Montgomery/Ezra Fitz** Spoby -- Spencer Hastings/Toby Cavanaugh** Wrencer -- Spencer Hastings/Wren Kim** Haleb -- Hanna Marin/Caleb Rivers** Paily -- Emily Fields/Paige [=McCullers=]** Emaya -- Emily Fields/Maya St. Germain** Taleb -- Toby Cavanaugh/Caleb Rivers** Emison -- Emily Fields/Alison DiLaurentis (Both Sasha Pieterse and Shay Mitchell have referred to the relationship as this.** Sparia -- Spencer Hastings/Aria Montgomery** Hannily -- Hanna Marin/Emily Fields* ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'' has [=CarJack=](Jack/Carly), Lilden(Holden/Lily), Cake(Luke/[[FauxYay Casey]]), [[ShipToShipCombat Nuke(Luke/Noah), and [=LuRE=]]](Luke/Reid, less commonly written as Ruke).* ''Series/CallTheMidwife'' fandom has christened Sister Bernadette/Dr Turner as "Turnadette". (Yes, they are pairing a doctor with a ''nun''. No, they don't particularly care. Fortunately, it's canon.)* Season 4 of ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' brought us [[spoiler:Gob Bluth getting together with Tony Wonder. Their ship name might be expected to be something like "Gony", but since Gob's catchphrase is "I've made a huge mistake", their surnames have been combined to make "Blunder".]]* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' has Fitz-Simmons, from how Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz are commonly referred to ''in universe''. Amongst fans there is also Skye-Ward (Skye/Grant Ward), Skimmons (Skye/Jemma Simmons), Simmorse/Mockingnerd (Jemma Simmons/Bobbi Morse), Huntingbird (Lance Hunter/Bobbi Morse), Phillinda (Phil Coulson/Melinda May), Fitz-Mack (Leo Fitz/Mack), Trip-Simmons (Antione Tripplet/Jemma Simmons), and Skoulson (Phil Coulson/Skye).* ''Series/NecessaryRoughness'' had the in-universe example "She-K" for the ill-fated professional and personal relationship between Terrance "T.K." King and Sheera Kane.* ''Series/FakingIt'' has "Karmy" (Karma[=/=]Amy) for the main couple; the minority that ship Liam and Karma seem to have settled on Kiam.* {{Averted}} by ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' fans, who don't do this at all, using either the full names or the first intials separated by a slash: Xena/Gabrielle, X/A (Xena/Ares), etc. Also note GJR (Gabrielle/Joxer romance).* ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' has "Javery" for FanPreferredCouple Juliette and Avery, while in-universe the decidedly ''not'' Fan-Preferred Couple Rayna and [[TheScrappy Luke]] are "Ruke."* ''[[{{Series/TheFlash2014}} The Flash]]'': Somewhat averted for two of the most common ships: Westallen ([[ForegoneConclusion Iris/Barry]]) and [[{{Pun}} Snowbarry]] ([[DoomedByCanon Caitlin/Barry]]). Played straight for Baricity (Barry/Felicity), Snowstorm (Caitlin/Ronnie) and Caitlicity ([[LesYay Caitlin/Felicity]]). No one seems to have quite settled for a name for Eddie/Iris yet, however.* Shaw/Root of ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' becomes Shoot. Given that both are very good with guns, it's pretty apt.* In ''Series/{{The 100}}'' fandom we have Bellarke (Bellamy/Clarke), Clexa (Clarke/Lexa), Linctavia (Lincoln/Octavia), and Jonty (Jasper/Monty). Occasionally the Clarke/Raven ship will be called Claven, but it's also acquired the IdiosyncraticShipNaming "Princess Mechanic".* In ''Series/TheLastLeg'', there's Jalex (Josh/Alex). Originally a fan nickname, it has since been used by the show's official [[https://twitter.com/TheLastLeg/status/571440075696939008 Twitter]] [[https://twitter.com/TheLastLeg/status/571443365830651904 feed]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zob4MpeIoQA mentioned by Adam]].[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mixed Media]]* Most crack pairings at [[CrackPairing the respective article here on TVTropes]].* The fanfic collaboration "Shore Leave," where three authors placed various male characters from ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', ''Literature/AubreyMaturin'', ''Literature/HoratioHornblower'', and ''Literature/{{Sharpe}}'' [[IntercontinuityCrossover in an orgy together.]] They included a commentary, where they and their editor related some of the pormanteaus they'd invented in the process of writing: Bushington, Shardrey, and Sparrowblower.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]* In-comic example from ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'': When [[AlphaBitch Tiffany's]] ploy to get hunky Quill's attention by feigning interest in [[HollywoodNerd Gunther]] backfires, her friend Crystal teasingly refers to Gunther and Tiffany as "Gunthany."* Richandamy from ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'' originates from Rich and Amy being on screen together all the time - as in holding each other tight at all times "together" - so much so that they're practically one person. Hence, "Richandamy."[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]* Though it's hardly a common pairing, one can find Wrestling/RandyOrton[=/=]Wrestling/JohnCena slash labeled "Centon." Here's hoping the bizarre [[CrackPairing Undertaker/Jeff Hardy]] shippers never come up with a portmanteau.** "Shawnter" (Wrestling/ShawnMichaels[=/=]Wrestling/TripleH)*** There's also "[=HHHBK=]" which is formed by smushing together the initials of their respective {{RedBaron}}s (Wrestling/TripleH[=/=]Wrestling/HeartbreakKid). Those who ship [[FoeYay Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart]] gave them a couple of similar portmanteau couple names; some use "[=HHBK=]" (this time standing for Hitman/Heartbreak Kid), while others use "[=BHBK=]" (playing on the fact that "Hart" and "Heart" sound the same).** "Huntista" (Wrestling/TripleH[=/=]Wrestling/{{Batista}})** "Reytista" (Wrestling/ReyMysterio[=/=]Wrestling/Batista)** "Codiase", or "Codiasi" as it's sometimes spelled, (Wrestling/CodyRhodes[=/=]Wrestling/TedDiBiaseJr) is becoming increasingly more common** "Junk" ([[FoeYay Jeff Hardy/CM Punk]])** "Slabriel" (Wrestling/HeathSlater[=/=]Wrestling/JustinGabriel)** "Santikoz," "Vladtino," or "Koztino" (Wrestling/SantinoMarella[=/=]Wrestling/VladimirKozlov)** "Punkicho" ([[FoeYay CM Punk/Chris Jericho]])** "Punkena" (CM Punk/John Cena)* There is an official one of these for one of WWE's on-air couples; the pairing of Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix (aka the Glamazon) is referred to by WWE itself as Glamarella.** A portmanteau (Glamarella) based on a portmanteau! (Glamazon=glamourous + amazon).* A less common name for the somewhat-canon couple (at least, in the latter's mind) of Trish Stratus and Mickie James is "Trikie".* Another canon one, tag team of Chris Jericho and Big Show, "Jerishow." They even have mixed music.** Big Show later paired with TheMiz as [=ShoMiz=].** Then Jericho and Miz teamed up again, and Jerimiz and Jiz became popular couple names. The team was too short lived to get a name.* Another tag team example comes in the former team of Randy Orton (RKO), and Edge (Rated R Superstar), with Rated RKO.* Layla and Michelle [=McCool=] have formed the pairing of LayCool.* The pairing of Wrestling/CMPunk and Wrestling/AJLee is often known as [=AJPunk=] or Punklee.** Wrestling/AJLee and Wrestling/DolphZiggler ended up being Zigglee.* The pairing of Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins of Wrestling/TheShield is well established as Ambrollins. Pairing Ambrose with their other teammate, Roman Reigns, gets us Ambreigns, and pairing Rollins and Reigns together is Rolleigns. When shipped as a threesome, the team is known as Ambrolleigns.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theater]]* ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' fans of the Glinda/Elphaba pairing use "Gelphie". Fiyero/Elphaba is "Fiyeraba" or "Elphieyero" or "Faeyero" and there's also "Bessa" and "Gloq." Guess what pairings those are?** Although much less popular, there's also Fiyeressa for Fiyero/Nessarosa, Foq for Fiyero/Boq, and Flinda for Fiyero/Glinda. ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' fans can and will ship pretty much any pairing.* ''Theatre/{{Les Miserables}}:'' Fans of the FoeYay pairing Valjean/Javert refer to it as Valvert.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' fandom has plenty of these, especially ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', divided into such diverse things as Clerith/Cleris/Clorith (Cloud and Aeris/Aerith), Cloti/Clifa (Cloud/Tifa, often [[ShipToShipCombat violently at war]] with the former), Yuffietine/Yuffentine (the somewhat implausible Vincent/Yuffie), [=AeriSeph=] (Sephiroth/Aeris), not even going into all the HoYay pairings of the terribly {{Bishonen}} heroes and villains...** The Yuffentine Pairing gained alot of ground after [[SpinOff Dirge of Cerberus]] came around.** There's also Zerith for Zack/Aerith.** There's some entertainment if you happen to ship Cloud/Aeris/Tifa as a threesome. In which case, you get [=CloTiRis=]. Oo-er.** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has a rather unfortunate one: Tidus/Yuna = ''Tuna''.** Lukka (Lulu/Wakka) -- which is a homophone of the largest city in the game's world -- and Rippal (Rikku/Gippal), both of which will never not be funny.** Auron/Rikku is Aurikku.** Tidus/Rikku is Tikku.** [[KissingCousins Yuna/Rikku]] is YuRi.** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' mainly avoids them, since the LauncherOfAThousandShips of the fandom is named 'Squall'. 'Squh' sounds don't portmanteau well. Squinoa isn't so bad, but Squistis? Squeifer? Or, most unpleasantly onomatopoeically, Squelphie? Squell is not unheard of, though. Nor Squaerith, for that matter. Not to mention Squikku is probably more common than you'd think likely.** From the same game we also have "Seiftis" (previously known as Quiefer) for the Seifer/Quistis pairing, "Quall" for Quistis and Squall, "Selvine" for Selphie and Irvine, and "Zellphie" for Zell and Selphie.** Squall may not have been in too many good portmanteaus before, but that's because he was saving up for possibly the best one ever. Ladies and gentlemen, ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has gifted to us the pairing of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Squall]] and the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior Of Light]], abbreviated as "[=SqWoL=]."*** Also from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', those who favor the UnholyMatrimony of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII The Emperor]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]] have started using Pala/Mecia--the "mecia" being the last bit of Ulty's name, the rest referring to the fact that the Emperor's AllThereInTheManual surname and name of the country he rules in his original canon is "Palamecia."** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'' gives us [[LesYay Fanille]] (Fang/Vanille), [[LesYay FLight]] (Fang/Lightning), [[HoYay Noehopu]] (Noel/Hope), [[FanPreferredCouple HopuRai]] (Hope/Lightning), Noerah (Noel/Serah) and Snope (Snow/Hope). *** If you want to throw in ''CrossoverShip'', Lightis ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]]/Lightning) have quite a large following as well** Fans of [[LadyOfWar Agrias]] / [[TheHero Ramza]] in VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics tend to call their pairing Agriamza.* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' has "Sonadow" (Sonic/Shadow), "Shackles" (Shadow/Knuckles), "Sonamy" (Sonic/Amy) and "Shadamy" (Shadow/Amy), among others. Lots of others.** There's "Shadouge" (Shadow/Rouge), "Taiream" (Tails/Cream), "Taismo" (Tails/Cosmo), "Sonaze" (Sonic/Blaze), "Silvaze" (Silver/Blaze), "Silvamy" (Silver/Amy), "Taimy" (Tails/Amy), "Knuxouge" (Knuckles/Rouge)...** "Sonunckles" (Sonic/Knuckles). Or "Suckles". Not for the "suck=bad" notion, but for the fact that the thought of "suckling" being involved drives others to {{squick}} territory.** ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Adventures]]'' fandom sometimes uses "Scrounder" when referring to the pairing of Robotnik's inept hench-robots, Scratch and Grounder.** "Tikaos" is the fandom's name for the Chaos/Tikal pairing. This got confusing once a character actually ''named'' Tikaos was introduced. (Who, incidentally, was a fusion of the two, meaning it could be a nod to the fandom's habit of making up names like this)* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' fandom does this as well -- any two characters' names can be and probably have been snapped together to name a pairing, whether that pairing is written by anyone or not. Lots of people write [[spoiler: Kranna (Kratos/Anna)]], Kraine (Kratos/Raine), Shelloyd (Lloyd/Sheena), Colloyd ([Colette/Lloyd) Sheelos (Sheena/Zelos), and Zelloyd ([[GayOption Zelos/Lloyd]]) but terms like Sheenis (Sheena/Genis) and Kralette (Kratos/Colette) are also not unheard of, despite these pairings being exceedingly improbable.** There's also Raingal (Raine/Regal) and Shuan (Sheena/Yuan).* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', ''Yuri himself'' create the name for the, erm, yuri pairing Ristelle (Rita/Estelle) ''[[InvokedTrope in-universe]]''. Naturally, this drove the yuri fans ''completely wild''. Fans also have created Yustelle (Yuri/Estelle), Reirita (Raven/Rita), and Fluri (Yuri/Flynn).* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' fandom: "Chess" ([[HoYay Cless/Chester]]) and "Archester" (Chester/Arche).* While OfficialCouple Cheria and Asbel from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' don't really have a common moniker, the popular pairing Richard/Asbel goes by the amusingly appropriate nickname [=RichAss=].* There are only a few to come out of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. One is the surprisingly popular Guytalia (Guy/Natalia), and another is Jadist, (Jade/Dist) which is just amazing because it sounds like a pun on fonist.* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' now has its first first Portmanteau Name [=JuVie=] for Julie Farkas/Veronica.* Some variations also exist in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', most prominently [=KyoCellen=] ([[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke/Excellen]]), the current OfficialCouple of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG series]]. And then by OG Gaiden, there's another variant like [=AxFimi=] (Axel/Alfimi). Also [=AxMia=] (Axel/Lamia), or alternatively called [=LaXel=].* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' has Blayden for Norman Jayden and Carter Blake.* In ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', Link, that HeroicMime studmuffin, gets paired with almost every girl in canon. Fans of Link/Zelda generally refer to it as Zelink. Then there's Malink (which is usually Malon/Link, but can also be Marin/Link), Midlink (Midna/Link), Midzelink ([[OneTrueThreesome Midna / Zelda / Link]]), Rulink (Ruto/Link), Linkooru (Link/Nabooru), or Linkia (Link/Ilia, could also be Link/Saria). Meanwhile, there's a very tiny faction within the fandom that ships Zelda/Ganon; as both Zenon and Gazel.** The Link/Sheik ship generally gets referred to as Shink. The above Midlink has also been written as Mink or Lidna (with the former being the more popular of the two), Link/Ilia as Ilink, Link/Saria as Salink, Midna/Zelda has got the name Melda (which is... somewhat appropriate), and there's a small following for Zelia (Zelda/Ilia - and no, the two characters never meet). Ganondorf/Link has been referred to as Galink, and the popular Dark Link/Link ship gets the unpopular name of Dink (or, occasionally, Dank or Larnk). Zelink, since it can refer to quite a large combination of Zeldas and Links, often gets a qualifier.** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': Ghirahim/Link is Ghiralink. ** Ghirahim, in fact, gets around - in common use is Ghiramise (Ghirahim/Demise, also seen as Ghirademi), Ghirazel (Ghirahim/Zelda), and Ghirafi (Ghirahim/Fi). Demise and Hylia become Demilia, and Zelda/Impa is sometimes called Zelimpa. Amongst the Skyloftians, Link/Groose is Grink, Groose/Pipit is Groopit (or, occasionally, Gropit), and Zelda/Groose has the unfortunate name of Zeloose. Link/Peatrice is Linktrice, but it's rarely shipped due to the fans either considering the latter TheScrappy or because of Zelink.* Fans of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' who enjoy the semi-canonical resident CrackPairing of [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] / [[MetroidPrime Samus Aran]] almost universally refer to it as Snakus (those who don't most likely use the term Solid Samus).** The Metroid series has a few in its own right, one of the most popular being Rundamus or Runmus (Rundas/Samus), Ghandradamus (Ghandrayda/Samus), and more recently, Ianmus and Adamus.** On the topic of Solid Snake, the only reasonable way to portmanteau Snake/Otacon is by using the Japanese pairing name -- Otasune (note that this implies that Snake is the {{Uke}}). Western fans who want to portmanteau the pairing (most don't) either have to hijack the Japanese word, use '[[UnfortunateNames Snotacon]]' (which has [[http://karaii.deviantart.com/art/MGS-SNOTacon-48362839 been parodied]] in fanworks), or decide whether [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Snakon or Snacon]] should be used.** Still on the topic of Snake; from VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3's fandom, we get Volkov for the infamous canon Volgin-Raikov relationship, Ocekov for Ocelot-Raikov, and Bosselot for Big Boss/Ocelot.*** Though Bosselot could totally be taken the wrong way and cause some seriously [[{{Squick}} squicky]] [[ParentalIncest thoughts]]. *shudder*** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' has also seen Pike (Ike/Pit), Mike (Ike/Marth), Like (Ike/Link), Mink (Marth/Link), and Pink (Pit/Link). For the ladies, Samus/Zelda has got Zelus, and Zelda/Peach has Pelda.*** With a game with so many characters from so many video games, the possibilities are almost limitless. A few examples are Smarthus (Marth/Samus), Shike (Sheik/Ike), Meta Puff (Meta Knight/Jigglypuff), and Nessna (Ness/Nana). Total possible ships: 1,764! And that doesn't even take the Assist Trophies into account.* For Alice/Marisa of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' there is both "[=MAlice=]" (though more often in reference to ''Imperishable Night'', in which you can switch between the two characters, but there's a sort of bug which effectively allows you to hit an enemy with both of their attacks simultaneously, which fans have dubbed "Malice Cannon"), and "[=MariAri=]" (since the [[GratuitousEnglish Japanese way of saying "Alice"]] would be "Arisu"; in English it's "[=MariAli=]").** Some Reimu/Yukari shippers are given to using the term "[=YukaRei=]" for their pet pairing.** Other examples include "[=TeruMoko=]" (Kaguya + Mokou, "Teruyo" being a deliberate misreading of the kanji for "Kaguya"; also known as "[=KaguMoko=]" in English), "[=MeiSaku=]" (Meiling + Sakuya), "[=UdoMyon=]" (Reisen aka Udongein + Youmu, who is often known as "Myon" for an exclamation she utters... once), etc.*** The last pairing can also be "[=ReiMu=]", though this is avoided outside of jokes to prevent ambiguity.* ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]'': Flak/Lash as "Flash".* ''Franchise/BreathOfFire'' in general has [=RyuNina=], whilst ''IV'' also has [=FouMami=] (for the het pairing) and [=FouRyu=] (for the [[ScrewYourself selfcest slash]] pairing).** ''II'' has [=RyuKatt=] (in a rare example of this trope where there is no Japanese equivalent--the Japanese name for Katt is Rinpoo in accordance with [[DubNameChange The Unwritten Rule Of Capcom Localisation Renamings]]).** ''II'' also has a rare example of this trope ''not'' related to romantic pairings; there is an entire ''constellation'' of portmanteau names for [[FusionDance fusion forms]] you can take with other party members.* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' fandom has "Maomaz" to describe the [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Mao/Almaz]] pairing, and also "Maoberyl" for Mao/Raspberyl.** Let's not forget "Flaharl" for the [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Flonne/Laharl]] pairing.* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' runs rampant with pairings, although the most commonly seen portmanteaus are "Grary" (for Gray/Mary, one of the rival pairings in the Mineral Town games) and "Graire" (for Gray/Claire, the name given to the blonde female farmer from the Mineral Town games).* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' 's FanPreferredCouple doesn't have a portmanteau name (how exactly would one smush together "Heavy" and "Medic," anyway? Hevic? Medy?) but close-second [[FoeYay Spy and Sniper]] does: Spyper.** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNnftq744I This video]] suggests the hilariously unfortunate portmanteau of Spy and Pyro.* The VideoGame/CityOfHeroes forum community uses Numitron to reference the canonical Numina/Positron pairing.** There was also a concerted attempt by some members to use Statesline for a Steasman/Faultline CrackPairing* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' fandom brings us "Fenders" to refer to the pairing off of Fenris and Anders or, occasionally, to refer to a [[ThreeWaySex three-way]] or LoveTriangle with both characters and [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]]. Vanders ([[TheCharmer Varric]] / [[FallenHero Anders]]) is occasionally seen as well, as are Fenbela and Merribela ([[TroubledButCute Fenris]] or [[TheCutie Merrill]] / [[PirateGirl Isabela]]).** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' has "Adoribull" for Iron Bull and Dorian, [[PairTheSpares who hook up if neither is romanced by the Inquisitor]].* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'''s names are usually either a portmanteau of their English names or the Romaji of their Japanese names. English examples include any combination of So, Ri and Kai (including [[OneTrueThreesome all three at once]]), as well as Larxel, Mansaix (the latter being Xemnas' anagram Mansex mixed with Saix), [=RoxEtte=], [=RoXion=], [=NamiXas=]/[=RoxIne=], [=KairiNe=] (Kairi x Namine), [=MarLar=], and Zemyx. Romanji examples include [[HoYay AkuRoku]], [=VekuRekuZeku=], and [=RokuShi=] for the Romaji. And those are the ''common'' ones.** Most common are [[OfficialCouple [=SoKai=]]], [[HoYay So]][[RivalTurnedEvil Riku]], [[OneTrueThreesome SoRiKai]], [[HoYay AkuRoku]], [=RokuShi=], [[CrackPairing Zemyx]] and [=Namixas=].** Also [=TerrAqua=] and [=VanVen=] from ''Birth by Sleep''.** With the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature of the game, some [[CrossoverShip Crossover Ships]] are inevitable, most popularly [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cl]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII eon]] (Cloud/Leon) and the CrackPairing Seiner (Seifer/Hayner).*** Alternatively, [[{{Pun}} Heifer]].* Every single pairing in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' has a near universally used one: Chelley (Chell x Wheatley), [=ChellDOS=] (Chell x GLaDOS), Chellmann (Chell x Doug Rattmann)... as you can see, the fans think Chell ReallyGetsAround. For the few non Chell pairings we have Cavealine (Cave x Caroline), Spaceosity (Space Core x Curiosity Core), Factventure (Adventure "Rick" Core x Fact Core), Angrality (Anger Core x Morality Core) and [=WheatDOS=] (Wheatley x GLaDOS).* On the Japanese art site {{Pixiv}}, ''InazumaEleven'' fans have created the tag "Fubukiyamaru" for Fubuki Shirou + Kiyama Hiroto + Kazemaru Ichirouta. Although it's frequently used in a non-shipping context for pictures which simply feature all three of those characters, since Pixiv has a limit of 10 tags per picture.* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fandom:** Portmanteau couple names involving [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] are quite predictable. Shepard/Kaidan Alenko is "Shenko", Shepard/Garrus Vakarian is "Shakarian" or "Sharrus" (although the former is much more common), Shepard/Thane Krios is "Shrios", Shepard/Joker is "Shoker", Shepard/Liara T'Soni is "Shoni", Shepard/Ashley Williams is "Shepley", and Shepard/Javik is "Shavik". Often these names implicitly refer to female Shepard, but sometimes people will differentiate between pairings involving male and female Shepard (e.g., "[=femShenko=]" and "[=mShenko=]").** On a non-Shepard-related note, [[RoboShip Joker/EDI]] is occasionally called [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]].** Liara/Javik is called "T'Sovik".** Tali/Kal'Reegar is "Kali".** Ashley Williams/Kaidan Alenko is "Wilenko".** Tali/Garrus, which actually happens in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' [[PairTheSpares if you didn't romance either of them]], is "Talibrations". (Garrus' half of the portmanteau is supplied by his {{memetic|Mutation}}ally incessant calibrating of the ''Normandy's'' main cannon in ''2''.)* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' has [[HoYayShipping Falox, Wolox and Jimpep]].** Falox (Japanese ファルフォ Falfo) is Fox × Falco.** Wolox (Japanese ウルフォ Wolfo) is Fox × Wolf.** Jimpep (Japanese ジムペプ) is James × Peppy.* The OfficialCouple in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', Mario/Peach, is usually "Meach" but "Mareach" is not unheard of.** The {{Fan Preferred Couple}}s also have these. [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Luigi/Daisy]] is "Luaisy", [[PairTheSpares Luigi/Rosalina]] is "Luisalina" or "Luigalina", [[CrackPairing Bowser]][[StockholmSyndrome /]][[AbductionIsLove Peach]] is "Powser", [[AmazonChaser Mario/Daisy]] is "Maisy", and [[WeaknessTurnsHerOn Luigi/Peach]] is "Luich".* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' has a few of these. Claire Redfield/Leon S. Kennedy is "Cleon", Ada Wong/Leon is "Aeon", and Chris Redfield/Leon is "Creon". There's also "Chrisker" for [[FoeYay Chris/Wesker]], Nivanfield for [[HoYay Piers Nivans/Chris]], and Claire/Steve Burnside is "Cleve". [[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' has [=KoTomoya=] for Kotomi/Tomoya.* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' has [=Kyouriki=] for Kyousuke/Riki and [=Komarin=] for Komari/Rin.* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' has Feenris -- Phoenix (or "Feenie" as Iris[[spoiler:/Dahlia]] likes to call him) and Iris.** The other popular heterosexual pairing, Phoenix/Maya, is usually referred to by its Japanese name, Narumayo (Naruhodou/Mayoi). Another het portmanteau is Miego (Mia/Diego).** Other examples: [[FoeYay Godonaru]], [[CrackPairing Godomitsu]], and [[ScrewYourself Diegodot]]. [[CrackPairing Spark/Lotta]]! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Is!]] [[Film/ThreeHundred SPARTA!]]** The fandom's favourite [[HoYay slash pairing]] is usually turned into Japanese to help the portmanteau -- Narumitsu. Same thing happens with the AJ rival pairing, Kyodoroki (or Klapollo/Klapolly). If English is used, it will be Edgewright, which is used even when Phoenix tops.** Franziska/Adrian is shortened as Fradrian.** Edgeziska for Edgeworth/Franziska.** Phranziska or Phizka for the Fran/Nick ship.** Since [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies,]] Apollo [[LauncherOfAThousandShips gained a few]]: Junipollo (Juniper Woods/Apollo), Justicykes (Athena Cykes/Apollo), and Claypollo (Clay Terran/Apollo).** Blackbright for [[AngelDevilShipping Blackquill/Fullbright]].* [=TomoAki=] for Tomoaki Maeda x [[GenderBlenderName Aki]] Toudou from ''Hadaka Shitsuji''.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]* Webinar and Dora have been referred to (once) as Webinora by a fan on the ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0001.html Erfworld]]'' [[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=47 forums]]. Bonus: Webinar is itself a portmanteau of "web seminar".* When ''WebComic/GunnerkriggCourt'' started hinting that James Eglamore and Jones were (or still are) a couple, fans of that 'ship began calling them "Janes".** This trope is also parodied with the page quote.* Behold the dawn of [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080609 Zeethiggs]] in ''WebComic/GirlGenius''... Ain't they just meant to be?** The fandom has yet to settle on one single portmanteau name for Agatha and either of her two surviving love interests, although "Agiltha" appears frequently for Agatha/Gil, and both "Targatha" and "Agavek" pop up from time to time for Agatha/Tarvek. Agilvek has shown up for the potential OT3.** Also, the canon BrainUploading / DemonicPossession results have {{Fan Nickname}}s fitting the trope: Lu'Agatha (Lucrezia in Agatha's body), Von P'Otilia (Otilia in Von Pinn's body), Lunevka (Lucrezia in Anevka's body), O'Kestle ([[GeniusLoci "Der Kestle"]] in Otilia's body).* Zorg, Gwyff, Riflee and such from ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance''.* Fans of ''WebComic/HoneydewSyndrome'' have used [=CharJay=] for Charles/Jay and [=CharMay=] for Charles/Metis.* ''WebComic/QuestionableContent'''s forum are sporadically abuzz with shippers for "Fayten" (Faye + Marten) or "Svaye" (Sven + Faye), and members smacking down the use of portmanteau names. However, "[=HanTai=]" for the gleefully pervy lesbian Tai and the OCD, extremely straight, easily squicked Hannelore (who Tai has an obvious crush on) is damn near universal [[{{Hentai}} for obvious reasons]], even for people who find the idea ridiculous. Jeph dismisses it as stupid, and has (due to the Hantai meme), banned Shipmanteaus from the forums. Not that this has stopped anybody, of course.** The CrackShip Marigold/Pintsize acquired the name... wait for it... Pint-o-Gold.** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by the Thanksgiving Turkeys [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2586 here]], as they suggest "[=MariDale=]" or "Daligold" for Dale + Marigold, and give the other current {{Official Couple}}s "Tora" (Tai + Dora) and "Willelope" (Will + Penelope).

Cole told Francis that "That's common when two people you know start dating. Brent and Jade as you knew them are gone now. There is only... [=BrentJade=]!"* Not really used, but the ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' fandom gave one for Xykon/Tsukiko: Xytsuki.* ''WebComic/PennyAndAggie'' forum members are fond of creating, and debating, portmanteau couple names. The most commonly-used ones are "Saraphne" for OfficialCouple Sara and Daphne, and "Agenny" for the eponymous characters ship. Others include "Standi" (OfficialCouple Stan/Brandi), "Jacky-Ann" or "Katack" (OfficialCouple Jack/Katy-Ann), and "Stenny" (for the FoeYay ship Stan/Penny).** Two portmanteau names have appeared in the comic itself: "Standi," which Cyndi uses after that couple's breakup (and well after its coinage in the fandom); and "Lichelle," with which Lisa teases Michelle after the latter says that girl-on-girl sex grosses her out.* Referenced in [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2112.htm this]] ''ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' strip, which coins the Portmanteau OT3 Name "Arthnevot" (Arthur/Guenevere/Lancelot).* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' has the fans' {{OTP}} Grape and Peanut, or [=GrapeNut=]. Yes, even their couple name has a food theme.* ''Webcomic/{{Nimona}}'' has "Goldenheart" for Goldenloin/Blackheart, and "Blitzheart" for Blitzmeyer/Blackheart.* By the second ''WebComic/SkinHorse'' strip to show Dr Dennis "Tip" Willkins meeting ''WebComic/{{Narbonic}}'''s Artie (RT-5478), the ship had been named [=RTip=]-5478.* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fans do this often, with the Feferi/Eridan ship being notable for contracting to... [=FefEri=]. Meerkat, for Karkat/Meenah, and Rosemary, for Rose/Kanaya (using Kanaya's last name, Maryam), both work out to actual words. Johnkat for John/Karkat, Karezi for Karkat/Terezi, and Daverezi for Terezi/Dave are all also somewhat commonly used.** There have also been sightings of "Karkade", for Karkat/Jade, which is coincidentally the Egyptian word for a type of herbal tea.** On the FusionDance side, we have the B2 [[SpiritAdvisor sprites]] -- Tavrisprite, Erisolsprite, Fefetasprite, Arquiusprite -- as well as Jack Noir's {{ring|OfPower}}-induced transformations: Jackspers Noirlecrow (Jack Noir + Jaspers + Harlequin + Rambunctious Crow) and Bec Noir (Becquerel + Jack Noir, less known as Jacquerel).* ''WebComic/ElGoonishShive'' - various names, such as Juke, were suggested for the Justin-Luke pairing, but Lustin was settled upon [[{{Pun}} for obvious reasons]].[[/folder]]

Team [[spoiler:Cawkes]]!* The [[HeterosexualLifePartners broship]] of Liam "Brook" Brooks and Jason Harris from ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' is generally referred to as "Brason."** [[SchoolgirlLesbians Sarah Xu and Reiko Ishida]], who are often called "Sareiko" when mentioned together* A NonRomanticExample from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' is how a couple of AIs get nicknames--'''Om'''ega + '''Alli'''son = O'malley, and '''Ga'''mma + '''Re'''ginald = Gary. For romantic examples, some popular ones are Yorkalina (York + Carolina), Grimmons (Grif + Simmons), and Chex (Church + Tex).* Obligatory Literature/WhateleyUniverse examples: there is ongoing debate about Phase's dating path, since he is dating Vanessa (Vox) now but close friends with Jadis (She-Beast). This leads to the Vanayla vs. Jayla discussions. Or is that Aylis? * ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'': A ''canon'' example in the form of Charles and Katherine Turner, the creators of Chakats. ** Strange example: '''Quick'''wind and Short'''dash''' have a cub named Quickdash. One winds up wondering if they plan on having a second cub. * ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightvale'': Most notably: "Cecilos" for the [[spoiler:now very canon]] couple Cecil Palmer and Carlos the scientist.* [[WebVideo/JakeAndAmir Jake/Amir]] is Jamir or Blumenwitz, which is German for "flower joke".* ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' has an InUniverse example of "Jing" for Jane/Bing. The fandom also uses "Dizzie" for Darcy/Lizzie, "Lyckham" for Lydia/George Wickham, and "Figi" for Fitz/Gigi.* ''WebVideo/EmmaApproved'' has Emex from [[http://instagram.com/p/idES6rBCT2/ Brent Bailey's Instragram]] and Knighthouse from a YouTube comment for the Emma/Alex pairing.* {{Discussed}} in Creator/AllisonPregler's [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/ol/specials/44302-lupa-qaa Q&A video]], when one fan asks if she, as a ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fan, ships "Bangel" or "Spuffy." She shoots down both options and wonders if anyone ships Buffy with [[RomanticFalseLead Scott]], suggesting that the pairing could be called "[[UnfortunateName Butt]]."* WebVideo/EmmaBlackery also had one in the form of #Demma - herself and LetsPlay/NerdCubed. However, the pairing was finally Jossed when Emma confirmed her relationship with another man.* Tony the Clock and Sketchbook from the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series often get shipped together under the name PadLock (SketchPAD and cLOCK).* WebAnimation/HomestarRunner and Marzipan have two (both used in canon): Homezipan and Marzistar.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]* It's all but a written rule for every ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' online forum to include a [[OfficialCouple "Kataang" (Katara/Aang)]] vs. [[FanPreferredCouple "Zutara" (Zuko/Katara)]] poll, with [[NewOldFlame "Maiko"]] and [[FoeYay "Zukaang"]] sometimes moving up in the ranks to join the fray.** One notable demonstration of the trope was the [=ComicCon=] Avatar shipping panel, which went on to, using a ludicrous amount of [[PortmanteauCoupleName Portmanteau Couple Naming]], identify [[CrackPairing every ship in existence]]... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG82P1lYD90 and then some]].** [[TheParody Parodied]] in "The Cave of Two Lovers," where it is revealed the city of Omashu was named after StarCrossedLovers ''Oma'' and ''Shu''.** Ones that involve Toph tends to sound really cool/funny. There's Sokka/Toph ([[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Tokka]]), [[OppositesAttract Toph/Aang (Taang)]], Toph/Zuko (Toko), Katara/Toph (Katoph), and Toph/Suki ([[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Toki]]).** [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Jetara (Jet/Katara)]], Yuet (Yue/Jet, who were each basically one-episode season-one love interests originally and of course have never met), Smellershot OR Longbee (Smellerbee/Longshot), Sukka (pronounced Sooka, Suki/Sokka), etc. Everyone is shipped in ATLA fandom. Including Zuko/Azula, also known as Azuko or Zucest.** On tv.com, The fandom couldn't decide between Sokki and Sukka because they sounded too much like either character's name, so a compromise was made. [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming They call it George]].** Azula related: Azula/Ty Lee (Tyzula), Azula/Katara (Azutara), Azula/Aang (Azulaang), and Azula/Sokka (Sokkla).** There's also Maitara (Mai/Katara) and, parodying Maiko, [[http://booter-freak.deviantart.com/art/Gagstrip-79-132368047 Maikoh (Mai/Koh the Face Stealer)]].** Zukka is generally used for Zuko/Sokka.** In a similar vein, creators Mike and Bryan are known collectively as "Bryke," though of course platonically. We think.** And now that we've finally got character designs and names for more than just the main character ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' had these, and accompanying shippers ''well before airing.'' All that was needed were character names, designs and capsule descriptions.*** To wit, now that Books One and Two have aired: there's the canon Pemzin (Pema/Tenzin) and Tonna or Senraq (Tonraq/Senna, Korra's parents), the sailed-and-sunk Linzin or Tenlin (Tenzin/Lin), Beska or Boleska (Bolin/Eska), and the sailed-then-sunk Makorra (Mako/Korra), the sailed, sunk, briefly refloated, and sunk again Masami (Mako/Asami), the briefly {{Ship Tease}}d but ultimately [[UnrequitedLove one-sided]] Borra (Bolin/Korra), and other fan favorites including Bosami (Bolin/Asami), Irosami (General Iroh/Asami), Broh (Bolin/General Iroh), Tahnorra (Tahno/Korra), and [[spoiler:the [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest now]]-OfficialCouple]] Korrasami (Korra/Asami), as well as [[CrackPairing crackships]] like Amorra (Amon/Korra), Korrlok (Korra/Tarrlok), Makolin (Mako/Bolin), Howrra (Howl, the fan nickname for a White Lotus guard, and Korra). And that's just scratching the surface.*** As of Book 3, we've now got the actively {{Ship Tease}}d Kainora (Jinora/Kai) and Bopal (Bolin/Opal) and the [[UnholyMatrimony canon villainous]] [[spoiler:[[GhostShipping ghost ship]]]] P'heer (P'Li/Zaheer)...which, yes, ''is'' appropriately pronounced "[[TheDreaded fear]]."*** [[TakeAThirdOption Makorrasami]] exists as a way to "resolve" to the eternal war that is Makorra vs. Masami vs. Korrasami... [[CrackShip which, of course]], [[BerserkButton only ends making those three groups VERY mad]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse by involving the "extra wheel" as seen in each ship]].*** Post-finale, some jokes by the creators on the Blu-Ray commentaries have spawned "Makoperator" - Mako and a female switchboard operator present when he [[spoiler: tries to warn Republic City to evacuate.]]* For another FoeYay example, with volumes of associated FanFic and FanArt, note "[[FanPreferredCouple KiGo]]". (Kim + Shego, from the diverse fandom of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''.** Possibly (ahem) even more unlikely are the "Rokken" (Ron + Drakken) or "Drakkim" (Drakken + Kim) pairings. No, they really do.** Strangely enough, one of the few ships on this show that doesn't fall prey to this trope is the OfficialCouple of Kim/Ron (although there ''is'' the option of [=KiRo=], which sounds similar to other pairings, such as [=KiGo=], [=KiMo=], [=KiYo=]...): a simple K/R suffices (out of the possible combinations, "Rim" or "Kin" would both sound silly ''and'' have odd implications). Also, Drakken/Shego, [[spoiler:another (eventual) OfficialCouple]].** A ship that is often associated with [[HoYay KiGo]] is [=RoRi=], pairing up Ron and Yori (who ''were'' actually canon for a little while in the series).* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. One word: Freela.** A few more: [[HoYay Fender]] (Fry/Bender) and Leeler (Leela/Bender).* In ''SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'', Sprx/Nova, by far the most popular pairing on the show, is "Spova." There are also names for the pairings between all of the other main/reoccuring characters, and many of the minor ones.* Amongst ''{{Transformers}}'' slash fans, MOP (Megatron/Optimus Prime) is a common fan term. Another one is [=MegaStar=] or [=MegaScream=] for Megatron/Starscream.** ''[[TransformersArmada Micron Legend]]'' has [=StAl=] for Starscream/Alexis on the Japanese side.* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': In the episode "Girlfriendklok", Nathan Explosion dates a celebrity named Rebecca Nightrod, and the portmanteau name "Natebecca" is created by obese middle-aged women (or alternatively, "Rebasplosion").* "Bevin" for the [[FoeYay Ben/Kevin ship]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. "Bwen" is sometimes used to describe the Ben/Gwen ship, and there's "Kilgax" for... Kevin/Vilgax. And then there's Gwevin/Kwevin to describe Kevin and Gwen. Ben and Julie, [[OfficialCouple the only couple to date to actually get together]], which took some time to earn its following, is now referred to as Benlie. Surprisingly the first canonical pairing in the series, Ben/Kai, is quite popular among the fans but still has no shipping name.* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': Tyroqua or Tyroniqua (Tyrone/Uniqua), Austasha (Austin/Tasha), Auniqua or Austiqua (Austin/Uniqua) and Tyrosha (Tyrone/Tasha). Poor Pablo.* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' isn't as heavy on the portmanteau names, but prefers initial-x-initial format. Just take a main character's first initial and put them on either side of the "x"; for example, [=UxY=] means [[UnresolvedSexualTension Ulrich and Yumi]], [=OxS=] means Odd and Sissi (or Sam, or [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Setsuna]])), etc. Most of the time, fans will know what you're talking about. Besides referring to Jeremie and Aelita as [=JxA=], some fans have also used the term Jerlita (including their mutual voice actor Sharon Mann, who uses it as her handle when stopping by Website/LyokoFreak).* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' seems to favor ship names that can be actual words: Style (Stan/Kyle), Bunny (Butters/Kenny), Creek (Craig/Tweek), Candy(Cartman/Wendy), Dip (Pip/Damien), Cutters (Cartman/Butters), Bendy (Wendy/Bebe). Most of the rest are silly portmanteau names (Kyman for Kyle/Cartman, Stendy for Stan/Wendy, Stenny for Stan/Kenny) or simply the initial-slash-initial format.** [[CrackPairing Stolovan]] is used for pairing Kevin '''Stol'''ey and Clyde Don'''ovan'''. Then there's K2 or K squared for Kenny/Kyle.** An alternate name for the pairing Butters/Cartman is, funnily enough, Buttman* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' doesn't lend itself to interesting mash-up names. The fans usually combine the first syllables of each name, like Rob/Star (Robin/Starfire) or do a nickname thing like BB/Rae (Beast Boy/Raven) the rare example of a true PortmanteauCoupleName would be Flinx (Kid Flash/Jinx) or anything with Cyborg in it (Starborg, Bumbleborg, etc.)** "Raveast" is also popular for Beast Boy/Raven.* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': SpongeBob/Sandy apparently makes "Spandy". As for the HoYay variants, there's [[HeterosexualLifePartners SpongePat]] and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim SpongeSquid]], or [=PatBob=] and [=SquidBob=] for less character-consuming variants. The term Squidill for [[FoeYay Squidward/Squilliam]] is also used every now and then.** Squandy/Squindy: Squidward and Sandy, obviously. Whichever is catchier works.* For ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Phinbella/Phinabella/Phinebella (Phineas and Isabella) and Canderemy/Jandace (Candace and Jeremy). And for the FoeYay example, Doofenperry or Perryshmirtz.** "Canderemy" was actually an episode title in Season 3, and "Phinbella"/"Phinabella" have been used by [[WordOfGod the show's creators]] and [[WordOfSaintPaul writers]] on Twitter, so those seem to be the "official" portmanteaux.** And now "Phinabella" [[https://twitter.com/hellofathead/status/294829977558466560 will appear]] in an upcoming Season 4 [[http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/Unnamed_Phineas/Isabella_Song Phineas/Isabella duet]].** Some more examples, this time with the Fireside Girls: Fertchen for Ferb/Gretchen, and Phineatie for Phineas/Katie (yes, there are people who ship that).** Others include Starl for Stacy/Carl, Irvabella for Irving/Isabella (Yes it exists) and Carlgram for [[HoYay Monogram/Carl]]** Also Ferbnessa/Ferbessa for [[PrecociousCrush Ferb/Vanessa]] and Buljeet or less commonly, Balford for [[ThoseTwoGuys Baljeet/Buford]].* The ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fandom has this only, interestingly, for crack couples; a canon or popular pairing, like Gwen/Trent or Gwen/Duncan, tends to be abbreviated simply as G/T or G/D, while crack couples are generally called things like Ezzy (Ezekiel/Izzy), [=LeDunca=] (Leshawna/Duncan) or Noah/Cody (Nody, [=NoCo=] or NOCO).** However, the TDA special had canon examples of Duncan/Courtney (or "Duncney"), and Geoff/Bridgette (as "Gigette").** In "Greece's Pieces", Sierra refers to "Gwuncan" and wonders if she and Cody should be "Coderra" or "Siody." (The fandom uses the former.)** Throughout ''Total Drama All-Stars,'' Sierra hallucinates Cameron as Cody and begins addressing him by fusions of their names. At one point she calls him "Camody" and refers to their eventual relationship as "Camsierra'ody."** These names are all over the fandom. It's interesting to note that it is more common for slash pairings to be composed of the first syllables of names, each separately capitalized, such as [=NoCo=], [=DunNo=], [=DunTrent=], [=DunHar=], ect, while most het pairings would have names sounding like one word, such as Nizzy, Trindsay, Nisay, Gody, Deva, Bridgekiel, Noette, Tytie, ect. However, Alejandro has spawned several names in the slash style, even if they are het, such as [=AleHeather=], [=AleDuncan=], [=AleNoah=], [=AleCourt=], [=AlePineapple=], ect. and femslash pairings will usually have het style names, such as Gwidgette, Evizzy, Britney, ect. In addition, there are some slash pairings in the het style, such as Nody or Chref.* ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus''. Ralphie/Wanda = Rwanda.* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': Fraphne or Dafred (Fred/Daphne), Shelma (Shaggy/Velma), Frelma (Fred/Velma) and Shaphne (Shaggy/Daphne) have all been used.* ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' has Pepperony (Pepper/Tony), Gepper (Gene/Pepper), Whitony (Whitney/Tony), and Rhodney (Rhodey/Whitney). Pepperony is also used in the comic book and movie incarnations.* Skilene for Skipper the penguin and Marlene the otter from ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''.* Non-ship and non-language-related example: A visual portmanteau was used to create the in-universe logo for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnaLRbbc-54 Mr. Sparkle]] brand dishwashing detergent in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. The product was a joint venture of Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern. The goggle-eyes and wispy lines of the former's logo combined with the yellowish lightbulb of the latter's to form a shockingly Homer-esque spokes-character. Homer spent an episode haunted by it, trying to figure out why what looked like ''his'' face was being used as a mascot. He was...underwhelmed by the aforementioned explanation.-->'''Bart''': ''(to Homer)'' There's your answer, fish-bulb.** [[spoiler: Nedna, for Ned Flanders and Bart's teacher, Edna Krabappel]], which has been used in advertising.** "I'd like to propose a toast to the coming together of the Simpsons and Flanders. If this were a more perfect world, we'd all be known as the Flimpsons."* On at least one occasion, the 2D/Murdoc pairing for ''{{Music/Gorillaz}}'' has been referred to as "Tuds" (Murdoc's name is often shortened to "Muds").** 2Dle (2D/Noodle). Scarcely used, but possible to stumble upon.* The ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' fandom had a more creative idea: Instead of fusing the names together, they had acronyms such as in ZADR, which stands for 'Zim and Dib Romance'. Other pairings then used this formula (ZAGR, DATR, DADR, etc.) Mainly because names consisting of only two consonants and a vowel in the middle are hard to fuse together.* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' have already started doing this. It bears mentioning that some of the portmanteaus (like "[=AppleDash=]") could be legit names of actual characters in this universe.** There is also Twixie (Twilight and Trixie), Twiluna (Twilight and Luna), [=DashiePie/PinkieDash=] (Rainbow Dash and Pinkie), [=TwiShy=] (Twilight/Fluttershy), Rarishy or Flarity (Rarity/Fluttershy), Rarijack (Rarity/Applejack), [=FlutterDash=] (Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy), Shinadence (Shining Armor/Cadence, sometimes called "Canon", because they're one of the few completely canon pairings), Dislestia or Celesticord (Celestia/Discord), [=ChrysCord=] (Chrysalis/Discord), [=SoarinDash=] (Soarin'/Rainbow Dash), Sparity (Spike/Rarity), [=FlutterMac=] (Fluttershy/Big Macintosh), [=CheeriMac=] (Cheerilee/Big Macintosh), [=ChrySombra=] (Chrysalis/King Sombra), Shyceps or Flutterbulk (Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps), and many, ''many'' more.** Some are quite punny, like [=ApplePie=] (Applejack/Pinkie Pie), Twinkie (Twilight/Pinkie Pie), [=FlashLight=] (Twilight/Flash Sentry), [=SunLight=] (Twilight/Sunset Shimmer), [=DiscoLight=] (Twilight/Discord), and [=CheesePie=] (Cheese Sandwich/Pinkie Pie). Not to mention Charity (Cheerilee/Rarity) -- Rarity ''is'' the element of Generosity, after all.* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fans have also started this since around mid season 1. Fubblegum (Finn/Princess Bubblegum), Marcefinn or Finnceline (Marceline/Finn) and Finname Princess or Flinn (Finn/Flame Princess).** Bubblegum/Marceline fans use Bubbline or Marcibel.** The genderswapped versions of Finn and Marceline, Fionna and Marshall Lee, have the ship name of Fiolee.** Genderswapped Bubblegum and Marceline, Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee, go by the ship names of Marball or Gumshall or, Gumlee.** There is also Fionninn (Finn/Fionna) that is supported by many fans, but seems nearly impossible in the series.* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' has it's own fan name for the Timmy/Tootie and Timmy/Trixie ships, [=TimToot=] and [=TimTrix=], respectively.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': T.J./Spinelli: Tinelli* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': There's [[OfficialCouple Luxsoka]], [[FanPreferredCouple Rexsoka]], [[MentorShip Obisoka, Anisoka, Plosoka]], and [[CrackShip Cadsoka]]. [[LauncherOfAThousandShips And that's not even]] ''[[LauncherOfAThousandShips all]]'' [[LauncherOfAThousandShips the people Ahsoka's been paired with]].* "WesternAnimation/RegularShow" has a few: Morby (Mordecai/Rigby), Mordeson or Mordenson (Mordecai/Benson), and Benpops (Benson/Pops).** Don't forget about this crossover shipping MordeTwi (Mordecai/Twilight Sparkle).* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' has two main ones; Super Martian (for Superboy x Miss Martian) and [=BluePulse=] (for Blue Beetle x Impulse). * The small but determined fandom for ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' has endless ships and endless names, some of which are half portmanteau, half IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Beer (Buzz/Mira), Burger (Buzz/Zurg), Wine (Warp/Mira), Marred (Mira/XR), Grape (Gravitina/Warp), Big Mac (Romac/Mira)... Due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, that's only a ''fraction'' of the list.* [[WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury Sherlock Holmes/Beth Lestrade]] has been commonly known in the past as "H/L", but "Sherbeth" is now gaining traction.* InUniverse example in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' Soos wonders if the new popular power couple in town, Mabel and Lil' Gideon, will be called "Mabideon", "Gideabel", or the jaw-breaking "Magidbelion". Also, Mabel created the animal couple "Wompers" (Waddles/Gompers.) ** Fans have created names such as "Mermabel" (Mabel/Mermando), "Candydip" (Candy/Dipper), "Wendip"(Wendy/Dipper), "Dipeon" ([[FoeYay Dipper/Gideon]]), "Padippica" (Dipper/Pacifica) and "Billdip" (Bill Cipher/Dipper).* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' often called the Steven/Connie ship "Stevonnie"- which became complicated when an ''actual character with that name'' showed up. [[spoiler:Stevonnie being the result of a literal FusionDance between the two, to be precise.]]** Another ship name being "Larsadie" or "Sars" for Lars and Sadie.** While the Ruby/Sapphire ship also has an [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Idiosyncratic Ship Name]], [[spoiler: Garnet (their [[FusionDance fusion]]), to distinguish between the character and the pairing,]] many fans prefer to call their pairing Rupphire or something similar.** Pearlmethyst for Pearl/Amethyst** Lapis Lazuli/Peridot is popularly called Lapidot.** The ever popular Pearl/Garnet ship is referred to as Pearlnet.** Pearl/Rose is sometimes called Prose, which has the added benefit of fitting their refined, elegant relationship quite well. * ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' has "Starco" (Star/Marco).* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has "Brewie" (Brian/Stewie).[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other]]* ''WebSite/GaiaOnline'' now has [[AntiVillain The Sentinel]] and [[CloudCuckoolander The Overseer]], who some people ship as "Sentiseer".* Music/{{Vocaloid}}'s got Mikaito[[note]]Miku / Kaito[[/note]], Kaimei[[note]]Kaito / Meiko[[/note]], Lukapo[[note]]Luka / Gakupo[[/note]], Gakumei[[note]]Gakupo / Meiko[[/note]], Kaiteru[[note]]Kaito / Kiyoteru[[/note]], Kiyuki[[note]]Kiyoteru / Yuki[[/note]], and Gakaito[[note]]Gakupo / Kaito[[/note]], Lenka[[note]]Len / Luka; it's [[BilingualBonus Bilingual]] [[FridgeBrilliance for those who know Japanese]][[/note]], among others.

Sumomo (Sudou Maasa/Tsugunaga Momoko), Renai (Tanaka Reina/Takahashi Ai), Gakikame (Niigaki Risa/Kamei Eri), Yajiume (Yajima Maimi/Umeda Erika)...* This technique has wormed its way into news and gossip coverage of real-life couples, with such shining examples as Bennifer (Creator/BenAffleck and Music/JenniferLopez, later Affleck and Creator/JenniferGarner), [=TomKat=] (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes), and Brangelina (BradPitt and AngelinaJolie).** Creator/BenAffleck later lampshaded this trope [[CrowningMomentOfFunny in the intro to one of his times hosting]] SaturdayNightLive. Noting the amount of money people have made with Bennifer T-shirts, and irritated that he hasn't gotten any of it, he showed off his own custom T-shirts with possible future relationships: "Benyonce", "[[TheOprahWinfreyShow Boprah]]", and "[[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen Mary-Kate and AshFleck]]". And then, "[[{{Pun}} [=BenGay=]]]", pairing him with either Marcia Gay Harden, [[HoYay or recurring co-star Matt Damon]].** Parodying this practice, Creator/StephenColbert of ''Series/TheColbertReport'' has taken to referring to the pairing of William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman as "Filliam H. Muffman".*** And, just throwing it out there, [[{{Beyonce}} Steyonce]].*** This was actually a ''Jeopardy!'' question: [[http://www.nofactzone.net/?p=478 they wanted to know what couple comprised Filliam H. Muffman]].** In the E! recap show ''Series/TheSoup'' makes the parody even more extreme, pulling the "Celebrity Hookup Name Generator" each time they know about a new celebrity couple. The resultant names are often full of double entendres and/or very tongue in cheek.** Bennifer and Tomkat are joked about in case 2 of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney''. Bennifer is one of Larry's former girlfriends, who led him to Tibet before dumping him. There he met 'Katty Tom', who became his next girlfriend... then dumped him to go to Hollywood.** [[http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/part2/091023&sportCat=nba Khlomar]]. A suitably silly name for a couple that went from meeting to marriage as quickly as Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom did.** Another cutesy current one is [[{{Spiderman}} Speidi]] for Spencer [[UnfortunateNames Pratt]] and Heidi Montag.** Even hopeless cynics can't help but get a kick out of the Miranda Kerr/Orlando Bloom coupling: Kerrbloom.* UsefulNotes/{{Bill|Clinton}} and UsefulNotes/{{Hillary|RodhamClinton}} Clinton as "Billary" originated from the 1980 Arkansas gubernatorial elections. It was a disparaging term aimed at Hillary's prominent role in Bill's career; many thought her outspokenness unseemly for a political wife. However, some of the couple's fans have adopted it, particularly in the wake of Hillary's tenure as Secretary of State. \\\\Also popular: Hillbilly. (Too obvious?)* One word: Hillbama. That's Hillary Clinton and UsefulNotes/BarackObama, rivals in 2008. After Barack won the nomination, some fans dreamed of a Hillbama ticket with Barack for president and Hillary for VP. (UsefulNotes/JoeBiden became VP and Hillary became Secretary of State instead.) \\\\Also known as: Obillary. That's Obama, Hillary and perhaps Bill.* One more word: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALsgRaRinQM Blush]]. It means UsefulNotes/TonyBlair with UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush. Or as ''Series/TheDailyShow'' said, [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=125201&title=Headlines---Best-Leak-Ever Primesident Blush]].* Parodied ''again'' by Stephen Colbert -- discussing the fans' perception of his relationship with [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]], he coined the term "Colbewart" (in reality, fans tend to refer to [[HoYay it]] as Jon/Stephen or, rarely, Jonphen).* "[=CAndy=]" for Creator/ConanOBrien[=/=]Andy Richter. They are well-aware of the coinage, and mention it occasionally on the show. Has existed since back when Andy was still on ''Series/LateNight'' in the '90s.* Parodied once again in [[http://snltranscripts.jt.org/03/03omono.phtml this SNL monologue by Ben Affleck]].* Let's not forget shipping between the current President of the US and his Chief of staff, better known as Rahmbama.** ''Radio/TheNowShow Book of Records'' suggests "Shellack" for Barack and Michelle.* Europe's power couple for a while: [[http://www.businessinsider.com/merkel-sarkozy-kissing-2011-12 Merkozy]].* Used for members of Music/{{NSYNC}}, when [[SlashFic slashed]] with each other - Timberlake/Fatone = Timbertone. There's also [=JoeC=], Choey, etc...** Most shippers of various bands tend to go in this direction, portmanteaus (smush names) being in use since the Beatles. Some of the most ridiculous ones belong to the various pairings of Panic At The Disco: Ryden, Joncer, Brencer, Rycer, etc.*** Those are not so bad. They're at least able to be pronounced. You'd think that people would try to do that, but nope.** Although they're only occasionally used, probably for this reason, GreenDay shipping portmanteaus always sound hilarious. Two possibilities are ''Bike'' and ''Trike'' (the third, sadly, is Trillie- which kind of breaks up the set).* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' cast has the quite well known [[ShipMates Skangie and Willanna]] (Creator/SkandarKeynes / Creator/GeorgieHenley and Creator/WilliamMoseley / Creator/AnnaPopplewell), which are really popular, since [[BrotherSisterIncest the characters can't really be shipped]] ([[IncestYayShipping even though that doesn't stop a lot of fans]]), as well as Bengie (Georgie Henley / Ben Barnes). Of course, all the actors are shipped between them, but these are the only couples that have portmanteau couple names which are quite used and well-known.* In [[http://community.livejournal.com/omonatheydidnt/ Korean Entertainment fandom]], this is standard protocol, especially in [[SlashFic Slash]] circles. And because there are only so many names in Korea, to the point where people can confuse couples with actual people, it extends to nicknames. For example, in the [[http://community.livejournal.com/sjloveaday/ Super]] [[http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/ Junior]] fandom, the pairing of Heechul/Donghae is known almost universally as Cinhae, as one of Heechul's nicknames is Cinderella. In the [=SHINee=] fandom, the [[http://community.livejournal.com/jongyu/ Jonghyun/Onyu]] pairing (usually known as Jongyu or Onhyun) has its own nickname of ''Blingdubu'', stemming from each of the member's nicknames: Jonghyun is Bling Bling; Onyu is known as Dubu or Sundubu (Korean for tofu). And over in the 2PM fandom, the [[http://community.livejournal.com/cocoich/ Taekhun pairing (Taecyeon/Nichkhun)]] is also known as ''Cocoich'' among fans, due to [[http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/otachie/gif/2d12384c.gif Taec's affectionate nickname of 100% Cocoa]].** In the [[DongBangShinKi DBSK/TVQX]] fandom, sometimes the portmanteau itself has more than one variation; i.e. Jaejoong/Yunho is know both as Jaeho and Yunjae to its shippers, who usually prefer one usage over the other.** What happened when [[http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/cocoich/af127418.jpg Hugh Jackman met Daniel Henney]] = [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QNzNTbXjc8 JackHen is real]].* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelux Benelux]]. That's right: '''Be'''lgium, the '''Ne'''therlands and '''Lux'''emborg are now ''one''.** Belgium the Netherlands and Luxembourg were originally one, the '''f'''ormer '''U'''nited '''K'''ingdom '''o'''f the '''N'''etherlands. (One True Pairing anyone?)** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/delmarva Delmarva Peninsula]]: '''Del'''aware + '''Mar'''yland + '''V'''irgini'''a'''. It's odd how a peninsula of that size didn't get a name earlier.*** Earlier it was known as the "Chesapeake Peninsula" (after the nearby bay).** A region in the Southern U.S. go by the names "Texoma" ('''Tex'''as + Oklah'''oma'''), and a city called called "Texarkana" ('''Tex'''as + '''Ark'''ansas + Louisi'''ana''').*** There's a city that straddles the border of Florida and Alabama called, you guessed it: Florala.** Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada is named for '''Cal'''ifornia, '''Nev'''ada, and '''Ari'''zona (although it's nearly 30 miles from the Arizona border).** Mexicali, Mexico and its cousin, Calexico, California, both on, you guessed it, the border of Mexico and California.** There is a Kentuckiana on the border of Kentucky and Indiana.*** The region around northern Indiana and southern Michigan referred to as Michiana.** In the San Francisco Bay Area, the wealthy East Bay suburbs of '''La'''fayette, '''Mor'''aga, and Or'''inda''' are collectively known as "Lamorinda" (although given the price of housing there, [[JustForPun "Morindette"]] might be a better arrangement).** "Pakistan" is one of these--it's a meaningful Urdu word, but also stands for its constituent regions of '''P'''unjab, '''A'''fghania, '''K'''ashmir, '''S'''indh, and Balochi'''stan'''.** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimerica Chimerica]], a term describing the economic relationship between China and America. If that's a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_%28mythology%29 a creature made monstrous by the combination of antithetical elements, so foolish it couldn't possibly exist]]... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Best. Portmanteau. Ever]].** In west Africa, Senegal and the Gambia used to form the Senegambia Confederation between 1982 and 1989.** The African nation of Tanzania's name is supposed to be a portmanteau. Basically the first three letters come from Tanganyika or the mainland, zan comes from the island of Zanzibar, and then they added ia.** During WorldWarTwo, to the Italians "Axis" was just them and Germany-- the trio was called "Roberto" for-- you guessed it-- '''Ro'''me, '''Ber'''lin, '''To'''kyo.** In Canada there is Alsama: '''Al'''berta, '''Sa'''skatchewan, and '''Ma'''nitoba also know as the prairies.** Here in the Philippines, we have the CAMANAVA region which includes the cities '''Ca'''loocan, '''Ma'''labon, '''Na'''votas, and '''Va'''lenzuela. The Philippines itself is sometimes called LUZVIMINDA; combining the name of its three main island groups '''Luz'''on, '''Vi'''zayas and '''Minda'''nao.*** More malevolent is the region made up of South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City, which is... SOCCSKSARGEN (pronounced "sock-SAR-jen").* There is the ever so [[{{Lesyay}} popular]] Chenzel, which is [[TheCutie Kristin Chenoweth]] and Idina Menzel. It does have some rather [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship suspicious]] back up.* More celeb HoYay would be Pinto - no, not [[EveryCarIsAPinto that kind of pinto]] - Creator/ZacharyQuinto and Creator/ChrisPine.* When Creator/NeilGaiman began dating singer AmandaPalmer, a fan on Twitter suggested their celebrity couple couple name should be "Gaimanda". Neil Gaiman's response: "please don't". (At one point, they lampshaded this trope by suggesting they be collectively referred to as "Steve.")* Technically not a couple name, but it is a portmanteau for the parents... Liger and tigon are combinations of tigers and lions. Male parent goes first (i.e., liger= lion daddy, tiger mommy).** It gets worse -- The name for a Serval/Carical crossbreed is "Servical".*** There's also "Zorse"- a zebra/horse hybrid and "Zonkey"- a zebra/donkey hybrid.*** This runs rampant with naming hybrids: Grolar bear or pizzly (polar bear/grizzly), wholphin (dolphin/false killer whale), blynx (bobcat/lynx)... The latter two are a little ridiculous, as false killer whales are technically dolphins, and bobcats are in the same genus as the lynx.*** Also, any "designer dog" is likely to have this, puggles (pug/beagle) being the most famous example. Whatever happened to saying "mixed breed"?**** [[InherentlyFunnyWords Labradoodle]]**** If a Cavalier canoodles a Poodle the result is a Cavoodle. Dogs as silly as the name suggests.* The department store chain Pamida is named after co-founder Jim Witherspoon's three sons, Pat, Mike, and David.* Miramax got its name from the combination of the Weinstein Brothers' parents' names (Miriam + Max)* Another non-shipping example: ''Sports Illustrated'' referred to the San Francisco Giants' dominating pair of starting pitchers as "Lincecain".* Two prominent members of Rangerboard.com, Phil [=DeLuca=] and Avril Pingault, who got attached and married in real life (he's American and she's Australian), led to the name Phavril.* Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari from the Japanese band {{Arashi}} invented their own Portmanteau couple name of Ohmiya SK.* Ediswan. Okay, so it's a lightbulb company. That's romantic!* In a self-imposed example, Ian Murdock in 1993 named his fledgling GNU/Linux distribution using a portmanteau with his then-girlfriend, Debra. Fortunately for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian Debian]], the couple got married in 1996. Perhaps less propitiously, they got divorced in 2007...* In an unintentionally [[{{Squick}} squicky]] example, two contestants on the British talent show "The X Factor", two twins that sing together named John and Edward, have had their names smushed together to give a name for the group - Jedward. It's not meant to be a shipping term, but it certainly implies [[{{Twincest}} as such]].* For those in the Nick Cave/Blixa Bargeld "Nixa ::heart::" is the common way to express your shipping position. Coilhouse refers to Nixa as the new Kirk/Spock.* OlderThanTelevision: George Bernard Shaw referred to Creator/GKChesterton and Creator/HilaireBelloc as "Chesterbelloc." Almost certainly a [[HeterosexualLifePartners non-shipping example]] though. Well, ''[[http://www.public-domain-poetry.com/poetry.php?pdid=9123 almost]]'' certainly.* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ore-Ida Ore-Ida]] frozen foods is a (non-ship) portmanteau of the first three letters of Idaho (where the founders are from) and Oregon (where they began their business).* There's good-natured competition between Jamiltonian and Jadams shippers. UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson[=/=]UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton and UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson[=/=]UsefulNotes/JohnAdams. [[RuleThirtyFour Yeah, people went there]].* {{Oxbridge}}, though some prefer "Camford".* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [[RealPersonFic RPF]] has quite a few, with Shatnoy ([[Creator/WilliamShatner Shatner]]/[[Creator/LeonardNimoy Nimoy]]) and Pinto ([[Creator/ChrisPine Pine]]/[[Creator/ZacharyQuinto Quinto]]) being the two most common (although Urbine ([[Creator/KarlUrban Urban]]/[[Crator/ChrisPine Pine]]) is gaining in popularity as well). The hilarious thing? Pinto and Shatnoy pretty much seem to ship themselves. Especially Shatnoy.* [[UsefulNotes/NickClegg Cl]][[UsefulNotes/DavidCameron ameron]], the nickname for the absolutely [[HoYay [=HoYay=]-tastic]] coalition formed between the [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem Conservatives and Liberal Democrats]] after the 2010 elections. For a show of how meta this trope has become, even the media refers to the two by this name. Hardly surprising, as they themselves were guilty of writing the first RealPersonFic of the two, in addition to the [[YaoiFangirl usual suspects]].** Also Cleggeron, which sounds vaguely robotic - and does [[UnfortunateNames ConDems]] count?* Jerry Holkins of ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'''s last name is a merger of the original last names of him and his wife.* "Bamco" for Bandai-Namco, after the two companies merged.** Likewise, "Squeenix" after the SquareEnix merge.* In 1895 King Leopold II of Belgium met "''[[HighClassCallGirl grande horizontale]]''" Cleo de Merode; gossipmongers started referring to them as "Cleopolde."* After the stacked with HoYay 2009 ''Film/SherlockHolmes'' movie, the fandom reacted not only to the relations between the characters, but actually [[RealPersonFic pairing the actors gathered a pretty large fanbase]]. [=RDJ=]ude (Creator/RobertDowney Jr[=/=]JudeLaw) in particular.* The Blur fandom usually does this, examples are Gramon (Graham/Damon), Gralex (Graham/Alex) and Dalex (Damon/Alex).* Dianna Agron and Creator/LeaMichele, (Quinn and Rachel, respectively, on ''Series/{{Glee}}'') are Achele.** Likewise, DarrenCriss and Creator/ChrisColfer are [=CrissColfer=].** Also, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera are Heya.** Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera are equal-usage either Nayanna or Rivegron.** Dianna Agron and Heather Morris are Morgon.** Dianna Agron and Chord Overstreet are Overgron.** Naya Rivera and Lea Michele are Riverchele.** Lea Michele and Heather Morris are Leather.** Lea Michele and Creator/CoryMonteith are Monchele. This is the only relationship that's real... unless you ask the shippers.** Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer are Monfer.* [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Hasbro and Takara-Tomy]]: Has-Tak! Hasbro's own name might count in a [[WeWillUseWikiWordsInTheFuture weird way]]: Hassenfeld Brothers.* Due to Creator/JamesMcAvoy and Creator/MichaelFassbender's extreme HoYay in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' as well as in interviews, the world now has "Fassavoy" and "Mcbender". Which is hilarious for anyone from the UK, where the word bender is entirely appropriate.* Tilena (Creator/TimBurton and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter) is becoming quite popular on {{Tumblr}}. Of course, they actually are a couple in real life.* After showing off their [[HoYay bromance]] at the LA Premeire of ''[[PlanetOfTheApes Rise of the Planet of the Apes]]'', Creator/TomFelton joked that he and Creator/RupertGrint are now Rom/Tupert.** Feltcliffe (Creator/TomFelton and Creator/DanielRadcliffe) is also quite popular, owing to Tom's remarks about [[YaoiFanboy shipping Drarry]].* The Glee Project contenders Damian [=McGinty=] and Cameron Mitchell were given the name Dameron (and in rarer cases, Camian) after their impressive friendship was shown throughout the show. The bromance ship name is used both by fans and by official media sources as is evident in interviews and published articles. Their fellow TGP cast mates have also used the portmanteau and many of them often refer to it in numerous interviews and personal comments in Twitter, Facebook and Youtube. The two themselves have acknowledged and used the term, jokingly admitting that their Dameron Bromance will live on forever.** Also, there's Damsay (Damian/Lindsay, the second most popular pairing after Dameron), Camrissa (Cameron/Marissa, though it's usually unrequited in fanfics, giving that in-show, Marissa picked Samuel over Cameron for partner), Marissam (Marissa/Samuel), Mathellis (Matheus/Ellis), etc.* Most bandslash pairings, such as [[Music/AvengedSevenfold Synacky]] and [[Music/MyChemicalRomance Frerard]].* Husband and wife authors K.A.Applegate and Michael Grant=[=AppleGrant=]* Israeli Tennis duo [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Ram Andy Ram]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Erlich Jonathan (Yoni) Erlich]] are usually referred to by the media as [=AndiYoni=].* ''Series/DowntonAbbey'''s Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth [=McGovern=], aka the Earl and Countess of Grantham, had already played husband and wife twice before they were tapped for the series, and thanks to a confused security guy at the Golden Globes, have been dubbed "the [=McGonnevilles=]". Tumblr, as Tumblr does, took note and ran away with it.* Invoked with LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood and his girlfriend Kaeyi, whose channel is called [=KaeyisDream=]. Their joint channel is called [[http://www.youtube.com/user/InTheLittleDream InTheLittleDream]].* [[BigNameFan Big Name]] [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} Mother Series]] [[BigNameFan Fan]] Tomato (AKA "The Guy Who [[FanTranslation Translated]] ''{{Mother 3}}'' When Nintendo Wouldn't") uses the nickname "Poemato" in the video game streams and projects he does with his wife, who uses the web name [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Poe Trader.]] For example, [[http://www.twitch.tv/clydemandelin/b/544607185 this one.]]* The Waitrose supermarket is named after two of its founders, Waite and Rose.
